Moderate battery life on tablet, Short on connectors, Relatively heavy, Expensive, Ethernet via USB dongle, No SD card reader
The ThinkPad Helix is a excellent Windows 8 tablet/ultrabook hybrid. Its well-designed keyboard docking mechanism works better than the folding, sliding ideas that others have used, in our opinion. Build quality is typically solid, and the specification w...
