Lenovo is all geared for the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Chinese manufacturer has announced a wide range of X1 devices which include a new Carbon laptop, a Yoga laptop, a tablet, all-in-one desktop, monitor along with a docking station.
The main highlight among them is certainly the ThinkPad X1 Tablet, a Windows-powered convertible weighing in a mere 2.4 pounds. It features a 12-inch IPS display (2560×1440), 1TB SSD, 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM along with USB Type C with Power Delivery. Though what’s really sets it apart is the device’s modularity, giving it more functionality with clip-on accessories. The Productivity module further enhances the battery life by 5 hours and adds USB 3.0 along with OneLink+. The Presenter Module adds a 60-inch built-in projector while the 3D imaging module gets an Intel RealSense 3D camera. All the above-mentioned modules offer HDMI connectivity as well.
The base model of the ThinkPad X1 tablet has been priced at $899 which starts shipping in February.
The company will be also showcasing its refreshed ThinkPad lineup at CES 2016.
