Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Tablet newly unveiled :
The new tablet of Lenovo is codenamed as ThinkPad X201 which goes with a 12.1-inch screen. The device is said to be powered by Intel Core i7 processors and sports a traditional convertible tablet design, with a keyboard, and a touch screen that can be rotated and placed on top of the keyboard to record data.
It seems a trend that there are more and more demands for a new generation of tablets or so-called handheld devices on which can browse the Internet, play games, read e-books and view video content. Lenovo advertises that the slates usually have software-based on-screen keyboards.
However, the slates are also concerned to have limited functionality that could restrict their use in enterprises. While the convertible-tablet market is small, enterprise users need laptops for more than viewing content.
It could be said that Lenovo stands as one of the pioneers in the slate market with the new introduction of IdeaPad U1 Hybrid which includes a detachable touch screen. The Lenovo U1 Hybrid allows users to surf the Web, play games or read e-books.
