Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix (2nd Gen) is a premium 11.6-inch business hybrid featuring an Intel Core M-5Y71 processor, 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 128GB SSD. Its standout characteristic is the 'rip and flip' detachable design, which allows it to transition between a standalone tablet and a full laptop using a specialized docking keyboard. It features a bright 400-nit Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display protected by Gorilla Glass and includes a Wacom digitizer pen for precise input. Main pros include its fanless, silent operation, a class-leading tactile keyboard, and excellent battery life that can reach up to 10 hours when using the secondary battery in the Pro keyboard dock. However, it is noted for being somewhat top-heavy in laptop mode, and some users find the lack of a built-in SD card slot and the high initial price point to be significant drawbacks.
