The ThinkPad X1 tablet could have copied the Surface Pro 4 and called it a day, but instead it built in more versatility.
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 Tablet takes
the Surface Pro 4 concept and does it three better, offering several
modules that can add features to the basic, $899 tablet with
keyboard. The ThinkPad X1 also debuts with USB-C ports that can
handle power, data, and video.
The kickstand unfolds gently from the
back of Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet.
The ThinkPad X1 starts as an 8.4 mm
thin, 1.75-pound that fattens to 13mm and 2.4 pounds total when you
attach the included keyboard. This is what you’d call the Surface
clone part, but arguably with a much better standard keyboard. Even
the basic features can be impressive: up to an Intel 6th-gen
(Skylake) core m7 vPro CPU, up to 1TB of PCIe NVMe SSD, and up to
16GB of LPDDR3 memory. The 12-inch IPS display offers crisp Full HD+
(2160x1440 pixels). This tablet isn’t messing around.
My favorite is the $279 Presenter
module, which adds a tiny Pico projector and HDMI in/out. I’ve long
envied this fun and handy feature on Lenovo Yoga Android tablets, but
there’s no love lost for lugging full projectors on business trips.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Tablet gives
Surface shoppers something to think about—a competitor that isn’t
just a good copycat, but someone who brought something new to the
mix. We look forward to seeing more Surface clones push on the
concept during CES.
