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).

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

Sluggish performance, Poor sharpness
Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet 2 runs Windows 8 Pro on hardware that's small, light, and perfectly suited to a mobile user's needs. However, because it's an Atom-based tablet, its performance isn't great, and you might get frustrated if you try to do too much w...

Unless you're some kind of edge case, chances are you already have a laptop. Yeah, maybe it's an old one, but if it's still functioning, it's at least as competent as the Thinkpad Tablet is in the Windows 8 desktop. So at that point you're just buying a t...

Trackpoint mouse, Essential accessories drive up the price, Tablet can fall out of dock, Atom processor is slow, Expensive

With Microsoft's Surface Pro models currently unavailable in Australia, the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 has managed to fill a gap in the market. The unusual AIO form factor wont be to everyone's taste, but it remains a reasonable choice for users requiring a...
