It looks like PC manufacturer Lenovo is planning to throw its hat into the tablet ring, and a detailed report filed by This is my next explains what the Chinese OEM may have up its sleeve. According to the blog, Lenovo is working on a 10.1-inch, NVIDIA Tegra 2 powered slate that packs quite a punch. The device, which will run Google’s Honeycomb operating system, will come in one of three now-standard tablet storage configurations: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB and has a target release date of July. The aforementioned 10.1-inch IPS window will boast as 1280 x 800 pixel resolution which will facilitate control of the tablet’s hardware features: 3G and 4G cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, full-sized SD card slot, HDMI-out, and a laptop-like docking station. The tablet, like much of Lenovo’s hardware, seems to be geared towards the corporate buyer — there are slides dedicated to Cisco, McAfee and Symantec integration and security. But if we know our readers (and we think we do), there will be a few of you adding this tablet to your technology war chest upon its release.

    Tablet utility is overrated, especially when you have to have a keyboard dock like this “just in case.” If you need a keyboard, BUY A LAPTOP.

      I’ve been a fan (and owner) of convertible tablet PCs for years. To me, this is just a smaller lighter version of what i like. unlike a normal tablet PC, i can if i want to just detach the screen when ever i want, if i just want to use it to show off stuff or consume media content.

      it’s the same argument as why, by a 17″ super laptop? just buy a desktop. For some people, it’s just a better fit.

    Stupid if your going to have this why not just get a laptop?

      because carrying the screen of a laptop around is easier than the whole damn thing

    This is a good idea, though I wonder if the tablet and Android is robust enough to behave like a desktop. I’ve been seeing this idea for years, though more on the scale of a phone, where you can dock your system where ever you go.

    I don’t see the value in this. While I don’t own one, I’ve played around with an iPad 2 and, if required, the wireless keyboard works just fine for those “I really need a keyboard” moments.

    The benefit of a tablet is ultra-portability and ease-of-use. This idea seems to focus attention on stick-in-the-mud IT types who, unfortunately, make a lot of purchasing decisions and recommendations. People hate change.

    I would consider such a solution – * if * it ran Windows. Like it or not, that’s what I use to do work with. My Tab is for fun and leisure time activities. Period.

    This looks pretty sweet! I can see this being great for couples and families that need sit-down productivity and lying on the couch reading/browsing/etc.

    it does not matter whether or not it’s a good idea; it does not matter whether or not lenovo comes up with good hardware…..it’s buggy unfinished unpolished rough around the edges honeycomb so it’s an inferior device, period. lenovo should learn from moto, asus, and toshiba as it sees how no one is gonna buy these tablets.

    • Jroc869

      its not about the software its more about price point. if you think because its running honeycomb, people are not buying it then ur mistaken. the xoom could be running froyo or gingerbread and still not sell based on price alone.
