This Tablet PC houses some business-important features with the intention of are beginning in the direction of become standard on professional in addition to high-end consumer tablets. The ThinkPad's chunky chassis includes a full-sized USB port,Lenovo added new features to its Tablet PC Articles a full-sized 3-in1 SD card port, a micro USB port, a mini HDMI out port, a headphone jack, in addition to a SIM card slot. A 5 megapixel camera is on the rear, in addition to a 2MP camera is on the front. This is the only cheap Tablets C on the market today with the intention of comes in the midst of a built-in stylus, which in the same fashion as Lenovo's X-series tablet convertibles, snaps snugly into place in the top left area of the case. in addition to in a surprising display of whimsy in addition to delight, the "i" in the Thinkpad logo on the back of the tablet lights up when the device is in use.

The ThinkPad Tablet's display is nothing short of remarkable, in addition to more than offsets the aesthetic concerns. Lenovo's decision in the direction of go in the midst of an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel on behalf of its screen was a smart one. Colors are vibrant in addition to viewing angles are great, which is exactly what the professional set needs. Display quality can be somewhat subjective, but of all the screens TabTimes has seen, this runs second only in the direction of the iPad 2 in the larger 10-inch form-factor Tablet PC category. While the 1280 x 800 display in addition to 149 pixels per inch out-spec the iPad 2's standard-bearing 1024 x 768 132 ppi screen, the iPad 2 still has a slight edge in overall sharpness in addition to visual quality. The ThinkPad Tablet ships in the midst of Android's 3.1 Honeycomb OS. No legacy update in the direction of Ice Cream Sandwich has been announced.

Lenovo has created a few customizations in the direction of the Android OS with its cheap Tablets, the most noticeable of which is the "Launch Zone", which permits quick access in the direction of the web browser in addition to four user-defined functions. (The defaults are email, video, music, in addition to books/magazines.) It's one of the more effective customs Android tweaks around. Aside from this, there's not a whole lot of unique interface work. Unfortunately, the biggest flaw is that, like many Android tablets (and phones), the ThinkPad Tablet PC insides are overmatched by Honeycomb. Moving between screens, launching apps, and/or multi-tasking between apps elicits a surprising level of jerkiness in addition to stuttering. This is in evidence even when moving the home screen left in addition to right. Power users in addition to iPad users will notice this in addition to be frustrated by it. Workers who are using their first tablet will not. Thankfully, in-app performance does not suffer from the same frustrating levels of slowdown.
