the thing is beautiful. would work great as a 3g model. going to find a review of this.

IBM/Lenovo always seem to get the styling right. I even like the chunky h/w buttons, which shouldn't exist on a pad really!

Looks mega.

Looks like a mahooosive bezel around it but don't dislike it. Will be interested to see its performance.

theres just something about it that oozes corporate sexyness.

Completely disagree! Looks like an old clunky 1990s laptop to me. The logos on the front (esp the red in the Thinkpad) look gash to me too. Of course everyone has their opinion, but they've certainly tried to go down the complete opposite route of Apple/Samsung et al.

This tablet looks really nice. I would love to grab one and try it out.

logo's should have been in landscape instead of portrait imo

lemoon · 25 Aug 2011 at 10:38

OH, another tablet!
But think Ill stick with the iPad, have used to use it, so many apps to get serviced for it like ifunia, Im enjoy with watching videos though lack of flash, surfing net, checking emails, reading, playing, can't without it on hand!

$499 on their US Website.

Unsure if its on the UK.

Always seem to be released in the UK several months later with a different name, like the x120e (x121e in the UK).

I was watching the Lenovo guy show this off the other day and it looks a bit thick and wtf @ those buttons!

Everything else seems good though.

As they're marketing this as a business tool I hope they've got a better office suite than otherwise available lined up

sunny007 · 21 Sep 2011 at 07:51
