Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, here with 64 GB, 3G, NFC and digitizer!

So after it was reported here already about the different versions on the market: Yes, they really do exist. Unfortunately, the description especially when third party is here at Amazon, not always the best. Based on the product numbers, see. Lenovo Manufacturer site, the device versions can be distinguished well. For devices that are shipped without pin, no pen operation can be retrofitted, unfortunately the display does not support the pen in these versions: Shame on Lenovo who have adjusted later in the product !!

I finally bought my version at Cyberport. The here at Amazon on 04/02. ordered by me identical features, there were only 2 days of Amazon.com to buy directly and then disappeared from the offer, as is often seen in new products on Amazon, just an initial batch (for a top price by the way) and then it's over , The thus ordered at Amazon.com device is currently informed me for delivery 10 April to end of May 2013. Amazon, thus so rather out of scope ... you probably expect cancellations. ;-)

As I said, I have for 45 euros more in Cyberport on 27.02. ordered and it on 28/02. preserved, even here it goes overnight when a ThinkPad Tablet 2 is for times in stock. The devices are available at reasonable prices so currently only in homöophatischen quantities on the market ...

So now, but the device itself:
- Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 64GB of storage, 3G / WAN, NFC and digitizer pen.
I have obviously received a faultless device, everything was perfect:
- The display is impeccable. The touch screen stylus operation I have calibrated at the outset, because toward the edge a small deviation was (to make in Control Panel, then select the Tabelteinstellungen the button "Calibration" and after calibration save remember ... Who the tablet settings not equal found: In the search box type in the Control Panel window, top simply Kali and already are, inter alia, the tablet settings displayed directly in the window content).
- The Siftbedienung is very accurate and extremely liquid, in particular the letter under OneNote without noticeable delay, as they are currently known example of Android tablets in male insert for writing..
- Installed with me Windows 8 Pro, 32-bit, then I wanted to have in order for the network at home and in the office all the Lot and all of Windows 8 shared programs and apps also run fine as long as you do not too much at the same time has opened. A dual-core Atom 1.8GHz and 2GB of RAM is now also no racing machine. But brisk work with Office and Co. is secured.

The ThinkPad Tablet 2 already provides much of what you expect from a Surface Pro, at a lower price, including 3G, significantly longer battery life in a fanless operation. An absolutely business-grade tablet in my eyes.

For this, a 3G module is installed, which is already equipped with a Lenovo-Sim card, ie it can be used free for all ledge and networks, but there is an international offer of Lenovo on top / addition. By Lenovo Access Programme mobile access is in every country on earth (compatible network technology provided) possible, and man can for from 30 minutes Taklung acquire access without ongoing monthly Surcharges. The conditions seemed to me at first glance, not a deterrent when you compare times with the international standard roaming costs for data usage.

What made me particularly confident in the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2:
- The tray 2 It is nice and light compared to my iPad 3 and has a grippy coating, as known from ThinkPads ago. In portrait mode, it can be just as comfortable to hold, as in normal operation.
- The TP2 is very thin and fits comfortably in your hand.
- Wi-Fi is very fast (which is in Windows, of considerable advantage is already for hundreds of updates that you have to do at startup even).
- 3G is quickly set up and the Lenovo tools to support and selection of the different network zones of this very helpful.
- Long battery life (to be confirmed in everyday use)
- The Micro-SD slot offers up to 32GB (by the manufacturer) and in reality to 64GB upgrade option for the memory requirements.
- Windows 8 Pro (in my version)
- Fanless operation.
- Fully-fledged USB port (limited power supply)
- Mini HDMI connection (via separately purchased adapter among others to VGA)

What I did not like so much:
- The price is a bit steep for a nuclear device, but relativized by the equipment and workmanship.
- Just 1 year warranty (95 euros for one year bring-in service and Lenovo Protection)
- Accessories relatively expensive (Bluetooth keyboard dock about 100 euros, loading dock to 80 euros, etc.)
