LENOVO THINKPAD - starts at $430 (Rs.29500)

          ThinkPad was introduced by Lenovo after the ideapad. It is a tablet which offers many features to IT based business people and has a stylus also. It’s a bit bulky and its dimensions are larger than the other similar tablets. It’s very much improved from the previous tablet ideapad but its performance is not good when compared to other tablets in the same price range. The main attraction is the pen which can be used to input data into the tablet. But the handwriting recognition is not so optimized for regular use. It has a 1 GHz dual core processor with 1 GB RAM and works with Android 3.2 honeycomb OS. Anyway Lenovo tries to impress the business class with the introduction of thinkpad.

        Lenovo’s thinkpad was introduced to attract the business class but it seems that it will not meet the required expectations. Thinkpad is advanced when compared to its first tablet but it cannot compete with other good tablets in the market. So if you want a tablet that has got pen input then thinkpad is definitely your buy because there are not many tablets with that feature out there. But if u want a tablet with good performance and awesome looks then you may not want to spend your money on this one.
