Windows 8 maybe just around the corner in late October but the surface tablet won't be the only device that will be out there one of the prime competitors or co-conspirators in the Windows 8 tablet revolution is the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet 2 which is a Windows 8 tablet that does not run RT it runs full Windows 8 Professional and off of an atom processor no less unlike the high-end Ultrabook processors that are going to be in the surface pro this is sort of an in-betweener type product and the price has not been announced yet but as a bright 10.1 inch screen and a lot of professional features including optional fingerprint reader and some TPM features that could be usable for business professionals some of the other details and various configurations are not available yet but it felt pretty comfortable in our hands and about the heft and size of a 3rd generation iPad this could be an interesting alternative for those who want to travel and engage in business teleconferencing and don't want to be limited to Windows RT another notable feature on the tablet 2 is a stylus which provides accurate handwriting and note-taking abilities but you can't always get on a multi-touch tablet plus as a dock connector that allows you to plug in an excellent ThinkPad style keyboard I'm Scott Stein and that's a quick look at the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet 2
