Lenovo IdeaPad P1

   The third tablet announced by Lenovo the other days is made for home users mainly but comes with Windows 7 as operating system. And that`s not all. This combines a multi-touch screen with a stylus pen for maximum flexibility. So it`s some combination between the Android IdeaPad and ThinkPad.
   Given the fact that P1 will ship with Microsoft Windows the hardware needs to be stronger - a 1.5 GHz processor from Intel, 16/32 GB internal storage (can be extended through the micro-SD card slot) and no official details regarding the RAM memory but should be around 2GB. The 10.1 inches screen will include a front web camera for chat and will display full flash support. In terms of connectivity there is Wi-Fi and USB. For software the IdeaPad P1 will have Microsoft Office for documents editing, Microsoft Security Essentials for protection and Lenovo App Manager to switch easy between business and personal profiles (plus other applications from Lenovo Shop).
   The are no other details for IdeaPad P1 at this moment except the fact that will be available in Q4 this year.

Lenovo ThinkPad

   ThinkPad is another tablet announced Yesterday by Lenovo and is the business version of the IdeaPad K1 as has security software preloaded (with full device and SD encryption, anti-theft and disablement in case of stolen device). As you will notice below the technical specification are about the same with the other tablet made for home users:

-- CAMERA:  Primary - front 2 MP.
Secondary - back 5 MP.
-- CONNECTIVITY: 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, 3.5 mm headphone jack, mini-HDMI, micro-USB, full USB.
-- SENSORS:  Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass, Proximity.

   Not like the IdeaPad, the ThinkPad comes with 3G connectivity included. The same as Acer Iconia Tab, we will find a full USB port for keyboard, mouse etc. And another important detail is the optional pen - yes the screen is also touch-pen supported (just as the HTC Flyer has). So we might say that ThinkPad business tablet has all features you can wish for at this moment (the 2GB free cloud storage is available). The other accessories are not to be ignored - ThinkPad Tablet Keyboard Folio has a full keyboard integrated in a leather case with a small trackpad (like some netbooks have).
