It's seriously, refreshingly good. It's the sort of device we'd award an editor's choice... if Engadget did such things. Though the tablet was designed for business users, we'd go a step further and recommend it to anyone who's been looking for a Windows 8 tablet with great battery life.

With its all-day battery life, light weight, accurate stylus and optional comfy keyboard, the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 is a truly compelling productivity companion.

This Windows 8 tablet from Lenovo scores with great industrial design and battery life, but adding practically required accessories makes the ThinkPad Tablet 2 very expensive for what you get.

We have our concerns about the keyboard stand ... but the tablet itself comes pretty close to delivering a good touch experience and a good desktop experience, at least for business users with no interest in gaming.

It's a simple work-based tablet that has a good set of ThinkPad accessories that make it a good fit if you're transitioning ThinkPad users to something a lot more portable.

Incredibly light and portable. Touchscreen tracks well. Cheapest Atom-based slate on the market. Record battery life. Useless USB port. Charging is incredibly slow, and accomplished via an incredibly small cable. Small, stiff Windows button. Somewhat dim screen.

For those comfortable with Windows 8 who needs the full PC experience without compromise, yet still in a sleek and lightweight portable option the Tablet 2 should be near the top of the list.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 is fantastic device when used as a casual tablet or business PC for a mobile sales force. The machine looks great, it's light and easy to hold, and the battery lasts all day.

The unusual AIO form factor wont be to everyone's taste, but it remains a reasonable choice for users requiring a proper Windows 8 tablet.

Sure, it’s well-made, has a decent screen and a useful stylus, but the performance is frustrating and most would be better off with a laptop if productivity was the main reason for purchase, even if they are much bigger and heavier.

It's the best tablet keyboard I've ever used, and the ThinkPad Tablet 2 is one of the best Atom-powered Windows slates you can buy. If you know that's what you want, get the ThinkPad Tablet 2.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablet 2 is a huge step up from its Android-based predecessor, and the stylus works great, but its use is hampered by a weak processor and Windows 8’s inability to scale to a tablet-sized screen.

The build quality is good, better than I expected and the design isn't too bad either. but it's no head-turner, so don't expect people to say ... "Wow, what tablet are you using?" It has all the bells and whistles for a business user. The only thing is ... price.

The tablet’s responsiveness was smooth in our fleeting time with the Metro interface, far better than previous Windows 7 tablet experiences. Multitouch gestures seemed much more responsive than during an earlier session with the ThinkPad Tablet 2 earlier this year.

With Windows 8 Pro and an array of features for home and office, the ThinkPad Tablet 2 promises to bring the portability and intuitive interface of a tablet to enterprise environments and everyday life.

Lenovo has been making tablets as long as any company and brought all that experience together for the ThinkPad Tablet 2. The first impressions show Lenovo got it mostly right.

As a mobile device the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 feels great to use. That said, the way the device connects to the keyboard is less appealing than with other units.

For a tablet, we have to admit, we’re digging the slim size it’s packing along for the ride – while also admiring the subtle ThinkPad design DNA it’s boasting too.

The tablet has a sturdy plastic case that’s easy to hold. It’s also pretty light, at 1.3 pounds. There’s a slot in one corner of the tablet where you can tuck the digital pen when you’re not using it. This isn’t just a plastic stylus… it’s a plastic “pen” with some digital guts.

This tablet runs on Windows 8 Pro and features a 10.1-inch multi-touch HD display. Lenovo claims this is the lightest Windows 8 tablet on the market with a starting weight of 1.25 pounds.
