The editors didn't like
Price
No SD card reader
No HDMI
Expensive
No SD card slot
3rd Generation
Not "Haswell
" processor
Awkward vent location
Wildly overpriced. Designed by lunatics. Docking system is a complicated and homely mess. Runs blazing hot
Bring gauze
The Helix is stuck with Intel's less efficient previous generation of CPUs
Making it feel especially expensive
Uses outgoing 3rd gen Intel Core Ivy Bridge rather than Haswell CPUs
Very expensive (though prices seem to be dropping). No SD card slot. Fan skirt tends to catch on laptop bags when inserted
Runs hot
Volume buttons too recessed
Some fan noise. Tablet has only USB 2.0 port. Hinge is locked when tablet out of dock. Pricey
Subpar audio
High-res screen can make small type difficult to read
Pricey considering its 11.6-inch display
Intel M processor limits what programs can be used
Heavy for a convertable
Which means that extended use in tablet/tabletmode becomes tiresome
Trackpad could be far better designed on the Ultrabook Pro keyboard
And the trackpoint isn't needed
Ugly
Unpolished design
Awkward hinge
High-res display can be a problem
Really expensive
Laptop makes too many compromises
Tablet battery is limited
Heavy
Tablet alone has short battery life
Tablet gets hot under heavy load
Limited port selection
No VGA port or SD card slot
Keyboard not backlit
Moderate battery life on tablet
Short on connectors
Relatively heavy
Ethernet via USB dongle
Bundled keyboard dock is very substandard. Tablet performance gets unnecessarily throttled down when removed from dock. Boring
Bland design.
Some awkward design elements
Expensive considering the last-gen components
Stability and build quality can be improved
Small touchpad
No maintainability or upgradeability
Display hinges and additional battery only in combination with Pro-keyboard

la Lenovo ThinkPad Helix es una tableta/computadora portátil de construcción sólida con todas las funciones de seguridad que necesita su departamento de TI. Gracias a sus dos baterías (en la tableta y en la base del teclado), puede funcionar un día labora
la Helix quedó desactualizada con la generación anterior y menos eficiente de procesadores Intel, lo que la hace parecer especialmente costosa
aun con la mejor bisagra híbrida de pantalla desmontable que hemos visto, el procesador desactualizado y el precio elevado convierten a la ThinkPad Helix en un híbrido exclusivo para una audiencia selecta....

Muy caliente bajo carga, Sólo 4 GB de RAM, Ampliabilidad limitada, Precio elevado
Portabilité & autonomie, Les différentes connectiques physiques et sans fils, 5 types d'interface avec la machine, polyvalent (tablette, tabletteclavier)/différentes positions, Touches fonctions du clavier
Clavier en plastique assez cheap, La tablette seule chauffe (à cause du Core i5 dans un si petit espace), Le système de charnièreventilation, Le prix élevé (1800€) avec la connexion 3G
Tastiera comoda e precisa, ottimo schermo Full HD, autonomia sopra la media, design versatile
Connessione poco intuitiva tra tablet e tastiera, peso e spessore sopra la media, prezzo elevato, manca lo slot microSD
Il Lenovo Thinkpad Helix è un altro fiero sfidante dell'ibrido Microsoft Surface 2 Pro, meritandosi complimenti per il suo design innovativo e per il valido comparto multimediale.Può essere utilizzato come un tablet tradizionale e replica in tutto e per t...
