Lenovo probably did Windows 8 the best of anyone so far with the bendy, twisty Yoga. Now it's got the Thinkpad Tablet 2 and keyboard combo. If the Lenovo Yoga is a laptop that's sort of a tablet, this is the tablet that's sort of a laptop.I've got a bunch...
Bottom line Probably not. Unless youre some kind of weird edge-case, chances are you already have a laptop. Yeah, maybe its an old one, but if its still functioning, chances are its at least as competent as the Thinkpad Tablet is in the Windows 8 desktop. So at t...

Atom-based Windows 8 slates continue to flood the market from every corner, but who would have thought the biggest budget option would be a ThinkPad?At a base price of $729, the ThinkPad Tablet 2 is the cheapest 10-inch, Atom-based slate I've reviewed to...
Good Your $729 gets you just the base unit and stylus. A docking station is another $100, and a compact Bluetooth keyboard, with an integrated stand and pointing system (but no secondary battery) is $120. The keyboard is nice, but you'll want the dock and its...

Ever since I first saw Lenovo's new ThinkPad Tablet 2, I've thought it might actually pull off this balancing act. It's very much a tablet — there's no dock, and you can't really call it a "hybrid" anything – but it comes with pen support and a keyboard...

Few companies have experienced much success trying to directly compete with the iPad. Lenovo's first ThinkPad tablet introduced a stylus to the mix, but because it ran a buggy, early version of Google's Android operating system, it got lost in a sea of ha...

Bottom line Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet 2 is a huge step up from its Android-based predecessor, and the stylus works great, but its use is hampered by a weak processor and Windows 8's inability to scale to a tablet-sized screen. Tiny menus, freezes, and slowdowns dim...
