ThinkPad Tablet 2 by Lenovo

The Tablet 2 is Lenovo's push into the Windows 8 tablet space. It has an Intel Atom processor inside for 10+ hours of battery life. The 10.1-inch IPS display presents vivid colors. The 1.3 pound weight puts the ThinkPad roughly the size and thickness of the iPad, making it comfortable to hold for extended sessions.

This photo shows the optional sleeve (left), Wireless keyboard (middle), and the Tablet 2 (right).

  • I would like to read your point of view

    Because you are one of the tireless Windows 8 critic/hater on the ZDNet. But please don't post your comparisons like Thinkpad Tablet 2 Vs. iPad Mini, Thinkpad Tablet 2 Vs. Chromebook or Thinkpad Tablet 2 Vs. Samsung Note 2, we get it you feel rest of the OSes are good and better for businesses to use than Windows 8. I would like to see a review between MBA Vs. this or Surface Pro.

    • Please don't try to speak for us all

      There are MANY different views and needs here. You represent one, and one only.

      • I don't think I said "We"

        except at one place. I asked him "I would like to read his review" and said we get it because as a lot of reviewers here already compared those including him, I thought the readers may not be interested in that. Please don't be angry with me. I know you don't like Microsoft, feel every pro-Microsoft commenter as a shill paid and hate "us". What we can do, we can't just support Google like you do.

        • You also said

          "we get it you feel rest of the OSes are good and better for businesses to use than Windows 8"

          By using "we" you seek to speak for all of us. I, for one, disagree with your point of view.

          • I think thats what I said.

            Probably your issues with Microsoft are making you to complete not read my response to D.T.Long. Perhaps, you don't like my original post to JK and so be it.

          • He Said, We said, They Said - WHO CARES ?

            You idiots are in a pissing contest over a TEASER ARTICLE for cripe's sake ! Glad to see you've found each other, now why not meet in a private chat room and save the rest of us the pain of bypassing your drivel.

            It's bad enough to have to put up with empty promises and teasing from Ziff Davis.

        Are you afraid of the results of such a comparison?

    • I dont really expect Kendrick to be objective

      He is totally into peddling iPad, so no point in reading his review about anything with Windows. The usual Kendrick approach is to consciously ignore all the good points in anything non-Apple and blow up non-issues as big fails.

  • Slow?

    This is essentially a netbook with a touchscreen and a detachable (optional) keyboard. If it suits certain users, that is fine. I think I would be more interested in an "UltraNetbook" with a touch screen if I were to purchase a 10" device for running full Windows 8. I assume this would be device to do "serious" work on. There is something to be said for a heavier base and an adjustable screen.

    My guess is that it will not be cheap.

      • Thank you

        What a coincidence. All your posts get a vote as soon as you post them, and mine get a flag.

        I thing I smell a BIG rat.

        • at the same time I may not be the one

          who is flagging you, and I am not saying that I didn't flag you either. :)

          • I really don't care whether people flag me

            I know I have a few "friends" here who will flag me no matter what. If they can't help acting like children, that is fine with me. It is consistent with the rest of what I see from those "friends".

            What I found curious, was the fact that ALL your posts consistently got one vote as soon as they appeared, regardless of the subject. I do not know for sure whether you are involved, but such a thing would be pretty easy to arrange.

            Let's just say that I find it highly suspicious and have dropped you another notch in my already not exactly high regard for you. Some people might call it karma.

          • flags

            If you get flagged so often, then why don't you look at what YOU write and the often arrogant hatefulness you display and stop-blaming-everyone-else! Grow up!
