Lenovo Launches The Modular ThinkPad X1 Tablet at CES
 

The convertible tablet segment has certainly gained a foothold over the last year or two, and now we are seeing a lot of great designs in this space. Lenovo already launched the MIIX 700 tablet which is a 12-inch 3:2 design. For business users that want the ThinkPad line, Lenovo is now offering the ThinkPad X1 tablet, which offers a lot of firsts for this segment.

Let’s get the traditional information out of the way first. It is a Core m design, which means that it will be fanless, and Lenovo is offering up to the Core m7 with vPro. 16 GB of memory will be available, as will up to 1 TB of PCIe NVMe storage. You can also outfit the ThinkPad X1 tablet with LTE-A, and this is the first Windows tablet to offer LTE-A support. Since this is aimed at the enterprise, the back panel is removable for servicing, which should make a lot of IT departments happy. The display is the same resolution as the Surface Pro 3: 2160x1440, which means it is a 3:2 aspect ratio as well. I’ve found the 3:2 aspect ratio to be a great compromise between tablet and laptop. It also features an active digitizer and pen support.
