My 2 year old Apple Macbook Pro finally died and instead of going with another Crapple I picked this Lenovo tablet. Since I actually ordered the laptop I feel I'm more qualified to write a review than someone who doesn't even have the product. After all it is called a product review and not a listing review right? The first thing you should know, it does come with a docking station, kind of. I wouldn't call it a real docking because it's kind of like an extension of the tablet itself. The optical drive and most of the USB ports are on the docking station so you can take the tablet out of it to save on weight and thickness if you want. The touchscreen is one of the clearest brightest displays I've seen in a long time. It does come with the stylus but unlike the old Gateway tablets you can also use your finger as a true touch screen. the trackpad takes some getting used to. It has multi-touch like Apple products but I only found by accident when you want to right click the entire trackpad is a button also like on Apple products so if you are a PC user this takes some getting used to. The tablet does come with bluetooth as well as a fingerprint reader on the display and 4gb of memory. It came loaded with Windows 7 Professional 64bit including service pack 1. Another cool thing is the browser back and forward buttons above the regular arrow keys for when you're surfing the web. As an Amazon Prime member, delivery of course was very fast, I needed the tablet for work so I paid the $3.99 to have it overnighted when it shipped from Arizona.

Having been an owner of a previous Lenovo Tablet PC I ordered this tablet with high expections. As far as performance goes, the tablet does well. What was frustrating was that the tablet pictured is not the same as what you get. 

First of the battery shown is flush with the body of the computer. The one shipped, while having a much longer life, sticks way out the back and is significantly thicker than the body of the computer placing it on a slant when you are trying to write on it. My previous Lenovo tablet had a battery that stuck out further, which was ok, but this one has a battery pack so thick that it's hard to hold comfortably.

Second, and in my opinion less of a problem technically, but more of a problem ethically, is that the screen size was photoshopped so that the bezel (area between the edge of the display and the edge of the computer) appears far smaller than it is. In the pictures it shows a rather narrow bezel that is about a half or less than the actual bezel. Once I opened it, I was supprised at how different it was. These same photoshopped images appear on the Lenovo site so I assume that they choose to mislead customers. Again, while this doesn't really affect the performance, it seems to challenge good business ethics.

All in all I am OK with the tablet, but wish I had a better idea of what I was getting ahead of time.

Amazon's description leaves a lot to be desired. But, do a search on the listed model number "429637U" and you'll get more information. You can also search for "tabook.pdf" and you'll get Lenovo's description of their current laptops. It can also be found at "[...]
As for the ThinkPad ... beautiful hardware but there seems to be some problems that need to be ironed out in the software.
I'm upgrading from a ThinkPad T41 so I've always liked their keyboards, and this keyboard is great as well.

Pros:
- no optical drive in laptop, but is in the Ultrabase 3 (I like this because it's seldom used)
- great keyboard
- ability to add an mSATA SSD while keeping the stock hard drive
- can have 2 external monitors at once (displayport and a VGA) ... connected to ultrabase
- quiet with an SSD (I'm not experiencing some of the fan noise problems others are experiencing)

Cons:
- no eSATA (can get an Expresscard, but I haven't found one that works)
- no USB 3.0
- no ThinkLight on the tablet
- brightness function keys fail after sleep/hibernate
- cpu throttling problem
- mouse/trackpoint doesn't function after resume
- my particular unit's performance doesn't seem to be as fast as some other's benchmarked

Some of the Cons seem to be software/firmware related, so I'm hoping they'll be ironed out.
