a multi-function tablet that wants to wear a lot of hats i'm dan ackerman this is the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 now we certainly look at plenty of 10 inch Windows 8 tablets this thinkpad 10 from Lenovo is a little bit different in that it has a higher resolution screen the most of those even though it's an intel atom processor this is a 1920 x 1200 screen which is actually super useful if you're doing a lot of you know careful work on here and you want that higher resolution it also wants to be more than just a tablet it wants to be your laptop your desktop any kind of mobile system that you might want to have this guy wants to fit into it by making available a whole ecosystem of accessories so the basic tablet itself is right here looks like you know standard thin 10 inch Windows 8 tablet then you can get this keyboard dock over here and it's got a fairly nice lenovo style keyboard the slots in connects the physically not not via bluetooth is a little physical connection it makes and then you can just fold this down and take it with you it form sort of a clamshell laptop the only thing I didn't like about that keyboard accessory is that you can't really adjust the angle of the of the screen when it's in here just kind of stuck at this one angle but you can also get a whole bunch of other accessories let you do other things with the thinkpad town I have a couple right here there's a more traditional dock and you can take this traditional dock here and stick the system on it and that gives you access to a whole bunch of other ports and connections including an Ethernet jack and some video output so you can set this up and connect the mouse and a keyboard and a monitor and it's almost like your desktop computer if you can handle the you know reasonably pokey intel atom processor there's also a snap-on cover kind of like you would find with an ipad or another tablet and thing i like about this is you snap the cover on like this and then when you flip it around to the back the cover has a little a fold-down flap right here so you can use the so you can use the camera while keeping the cover on you just fold this down your camera lens is right there and then you can use the rear facing camera on on the thinkpad of course because this is a very multifunctional tablet it's a little bit more expensive than a lot of the other similar systems that we've seen you do get the higher but still an intel atom processor this thing started about five hundred fifty dollars can go up from there and of course if you had all these accessories it can cost just about as much as a regular full power core i series laptop i'm dan ackerman and that is the Lenovo ThinkPad temp
