Included digitiser pen ; Physical shortcut buttons ; Unique business-orientated software

Chunky design and glossy display ; Battery life could be improved ; Visible square imprints on screen

Unlike every other Android tablet on the market, the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is a business tablet first and foremost. Its digitiser pen alone makes it an attractive proposition, and it also comes with useful security features and VPN capability. All up,...

Optional pressure sensitive stylus ; Optional excellent keyboard folio case ; Good IPS screen ; More connectivity than most ; Controlled app market

Relatively heavy and bulky ; Not the most attractive ; Not cheap ; Tegra 2 isn’t ideal for HD video

Full-sized USB 2.0 port. Optional 3G. Excellent, though optional, keyboard folio case and accurate stylus pen.

A bit chunky. Frequent app crashes in our tests. Occasionally unresponsive screen. Subpar battery life.

The optional keyboard appears small, but, like most ThinkPad keyboards, it's a pleasure to type on. There is some delay between typing and text appearing on screen, but it is still far better than the on-screen keyboard experience. I initially thought...

Good battery life ; Extra business apps ; Extra ports - USB and SD ; Fits with Lenovo laptops ; Pen input

Bulky and not that thin ; Outdated design ; Poor AVI video playback ; UI adds-on are so-so ; Lenovo store is confusing

Top-notch performance in all areas. USB charging. Outstanding battery life (over 9 hours at full tilt). Preinstalled IT apps make sense for enterprise buyers, but they aren’t packaged here very thoughtfully

Major problems with wireless networking. Display seems dim if not viewed dead-on. Expensive. Design simply not up to snuff compared to Lenovo’s other products, especially ThinkPad laptops

Digitizer allows pen input ; Pleasing display quality

USB port awkward for flash drive use ; Looks bulky, and feels heavy in hand

Ports and software distinguish this business-centric tablet, which holds appeal for non-business users, too.

IPS display; Good screen contrast; Large viewing angles; Corning Gorilla Glass; Capacitive 6-finger multi-touch panel; Good battery life; Large hard drive

Glossy display; Extremely long charging time; Case sometimes creaks; Gets very warm in places; Heavy; Only one loudspeaker

The IPS display has very large viewing angles, vibrant colours and good contrast.

This tablet is pretty decent and should be great for business users and professionals. While the stylus works for full navigation everywhere the user needs from swiping through homescreens and choosing apps and more. Certain applications have no use...
