The Lenovo ThinkPad 4G is worth it only if you need its stylus, as it is heavy, sometimes slow and pricier than similar Tegra 2 tablets.

Third-party reviews

What customers don't like about Lenovo ThinkPad 4G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Limited multitasking and graphical performance from Intel Atom processors
  • Required accessories (keyboard docks, cases) are often expensive and sold separately
  • Cameras generally provide poor image quality with noticeable noise in low light
  • Slow charging times, particularly on models using micro-USB for power

Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 is a professional-grade 10.1-inch Windows device featuring an Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor clocked at 1.8 GHz, 2GB of LPDDR2 RAM, and 64GB of eMMC internal storage. Its standout features include a vibrant IPS multi-touch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768, an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, and a full-size USB 2.0 port for extensive peripheral compatibility. Key pros are its extreme portability, weighing approximately 565 grams, and a long-lasting battery life of up to 10 hours for video streaming. However, main cons include limited performance for heavy multitasking or gaming due to the entry-level Atom chipset and the 2GB memory constraint which can lead to slow application loading.
