When Apple's very first iPad hit the scene in 2010, their take on the "modern tablet" was destined to become ubiquitous: a thin, rigid slab of touchable electronics covered by a sheet of shiny Gorilla Glass. Following the iPad's resounding success, Apple...
Top notch keyboard (optional addon), great battery life, plenty of input options, sleek yet sturdy design and a solid Windows 8 experience. Relatively good value.
Clover Trail processor already feels dated. Paired with the keyboard 'stand' the ThinkPad Tablet 2 isn't suited for use in anything other than solid surfaces (i.e. not your lap).
Like it or not, Windows 8 on a tablet is a liberating experience, particularly if you've ever felt boxed in by Android or iOS. Even if you haven't, Windows 8 tablets are kind of the Swiss Army knife of mobile computing -- they essentially run anything you...

The Tablet 2 is not a cheap tablet . It costs a considerable £700 for a model with 64GB of flash storage – and that's the only capacity on offer. There are no accessories like a keyboard dock included either.While this is likely to be cheaper than Microso...
