Keyboard layout itself is good
But dock doesn't allow for multiple screen angles and doesn't extend the tablet's battery life

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).
Battery is soldered in place
Bad illumination level of the LED-Flash
Digitize pen not retrofittable
Low power supply through the UBS port
Pen support isn't standard
Bluetooth occasionally causes typing lags
USB port doesn't work with USB hard drives or external optical drives
Overall, the ThinkPad Tablet 2 is one of the most well designed Windows 8 tablets we have set our hands on; it's minimal styling, accents of red, and thin design present a tight and durable package that deserves the ThinkPad branding. The tablet is aimed...

Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet 2 is a well-made tablet, but unfortunately it's hamstrung by a weak processor and unimaginative hardware that does little to separate it from the pack. The Tablet 2 does an admirable job maintaining the ThinkPad's reputation fo...
