The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 helix to be unveiled in January, according to the latest reports on CES 2013 and then the first 11.6-inch Windows 8 tablet with its docking station from the Chinese manufacturer.


















The appliance form factor reminiscent of her on the Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx, however, the Chinese put the
helix on it again one and the specs as the Full HD 1080p display gives hope for a very fine Tablet:


  • Intel Core i7 processor of the third generation (Ivy Bridge)
  • 11.6-inch, capacitive IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels
  • 4 GB of memory
  • Graphics Controller: Intel GMA HD 4000

Big difference here comparable to Windows 8 - Tablets : You can do the ThinkPad X1 Helix not only with your fingers from the keyboard and use the touch screen, but also thanks to Wacom digitizer with a stylus.


The Windows 8 tablet comes with a black carbon housing, but about the weight of the unit, we can only speculate. Likewise, we do not have the price of the X1 helix.

What we have so far, but can see it, can hope for a great tablet, in which there could be a very special design twist: it seems as if it would be in the tablet no matter which way round it been attached to the docking station . Thus, you could position it so that your counterpart could take a look at the display. But here we are in Las Vegas to convince us of the functionality and features of the Lenovo tablet.
