Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet: Specs, Features and Price

Lenovo have heralded the X1 Tablet as 'the 2 in 1 for business and the lightest and thinnest ThinkPad, and weighing in at under 1.1kg and under 13 mm with keyboard'. That doesn't even begin to do this newest ThinkPad justice.

Let's start with the processor. The Intel Core M7-6Y75 processor, up to 3.10 GHz, means that this is a tablet with the functionality of its larger cousins. I have spent a happy day putting it through its paces, including a spot of Netflixing, downloading software (including the Word Processor I'm typing this on) and I can see why Lenovo have targeted the business user. The price puts it at the high end of the tablet market, but as I keep on saying, this is a tablet in name only. You get what you pay for and in this case you will most likely stop using your laptop.Let's talk about the keyboard. I'm sure most of you have hopped from one keyboard to another and had that experience when suddenly your fingers start missing the correct key.

This keyboard is so beautifully laid out, that any errors I have made are purely my own. While super slim and seemingly flimsy, it's the baby brother of its fellow ThinkPads - right down to the little red 'joystick' button, and the clever trackpad.

Right-clicking is a dream with this baby, with no need to reach for the ctrl key, not to mention the positive feel of the keys, which I wasn't expecting from such an insubstantial keyboard. Detaching the keyboard is simple due to the clever magnetic attachment, and reattaching is just as easy. Using the onscreen keyboard is simple and I love the 'bubblewrap' popping sound the keys make. It's quite reassuring.
