Third-party reviews

What we like about Lenovo Thinkpad 8 WiFi (2GB + 128GB)

  • High-resolution 1920x1200 Full HD display with excellent sharpness and vibrant colours
  • Premium, solid build quality featuring an aluminium back and high-grade materials
  • Smooth performance for everyday tasks and basic multitasking due to the Intel Atom Z3770 processor
  • Truly portable and slim 8-inch form factor that is easy to carry
  • Innovative optional QuickShot cover that automatically launches the camera app when folded
  • Includes a microHDMI port and a microUSB 3.0 port for enhanced connectivity options

What we don't like about Lenovo Thinkpad 8 WiFi (2GB + 128GB)

  • Shorter battery life compared to other 8-inch Windows tablets, often struggling to reach a full 8 hours under heavy use
  • Higher price point than many competitors in the same size category
  • Lack of a built-in stylus or digitiser, which limits its use for detailed professional or creative work
  • Windows desktop mode can be difficult to use on a small 8.3-inch screen due to tiny interface elements
  • Occasional software bugs and system instability reported, including camera-related crashes
  • Relatively heavy for its size (0.89 pounds), making it tiresome for extended one-handed use

Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad 8 is a professional-grade Windows 8.1 tablet featuring an 8.3-inch Full HD (1920x1200) IPS multitouch display and a premium aluminum chassis. It is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3770 processor (up to 2.39GHz) with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, expandable via microSD. Key characteristics include a micro-USB 3.0 port for fast data transfer and docking, micro-HDMI for external displays, and an 8MP rear camera with an optional 'QuickShot' magnetic cover that automatically launches the camera app. Main pros are its exceptionally sharp high-resolution screen, lightweight design (under 1lb), and the ability to run full desktop Windows applications. However, notable cons include limited multitasking performance due to the 2GB of RAM, the absence of a built-in stylus, and shorter battery life compared to some 8-inch competitors.
