The folks of Engadget took their time at Computex 2012 and played with a new Lenovo ThinkPad tablet, that features Windows 8. So, we’ve got Acer, ASUS and Samsung with unusual tablet formats based on Win 8 and now here comes Lenovo, a bit late to the party. Honestly speaking, their Windows 8 tablet is not that much of a departure from the ThinkPad Android slate.
This product doesn’t even have an official name yet, let alone a price or launch date. All we know is that it’s part of the ThinkPad line and it runs Windows 8. It stays close to the ThinkPad laptops, with a soft touch black finish, that will keep away scratches and smudges. The slate measures 9.7 mm in thickness and it comes with an unspecified Intel Clover Trail processor, while the battery should be able to provide the user with about 10 hours on a single charge. At the front we have a 10.1 inch 1366 x 768 pixel display and also on board we have an 8 megapixel camera (back) and 2MP shooter (front).
A micro HDMi and a docking connector are here as well, so peripherals should also come soon enough. In the video below you can see Engadget having fun with the product. This is merely a prototype, so it’s very likely that the final device in stores won’t look exactly like this. Anyway, I sure hope it’s better than the Android ThinkPad tablet…
