I like many others were stoked when the myriad of windows 8 tablets were announced back in October. Several months and delays later most of them have started to appear. This tablet is in hard competition with others such as the Samsung 500t and the Asus vivo, tablets that have support for styluses.
I choose the Lenovo as it was the only tablet with a stylus that had a 10.1 inch screen; I had held and tested several of the 11.1 inch models in various stores and I found them too big. In addition they were not very well balanced in my hand when carrying around.
For me the 10.1 size is on the edge of comfortable, and while I might have preferred a 9 inch instead it is light enough and small enough that it feels like a device I will continue to carry around, even after the novelty of a new devices goes away.
The build quality feels solid, the tablet also feels like a quality product that can withstand daily abuse and use.
The tablet came pre-loaded with some crapware, but not much. Biggest drawback was Norton Suite, that company should have been forced to close a long time ago. Had to download an additional uninstaller from their site to completely remove their software, leaving it in would probably have been worse than having any viruses, so it had to be done. Windows 8 comes pre-loaded with a very good anti-virus, so there is really no need to use Norton at all, ever. In addition some of the Lenovo "bundled" software are more or less just links to paid versions from third-party publishers that you can get for a discounted price, in other words not that awesome, but easy to get rid of at least.
Pros:
-10.1 screen, a bit smaller physical size than its competition.
-Lightweight, among the lightest of the Atom tablets.
-Stylus, this is simply awesome and makes the transition from keyboard/mouse to touch easier.
-64gb storage built in, and a microSD slot for expansion.
-Small amount of crapware pre-installed.
-Good battery time, lasts me a day at work with some extra to spare for when I get home
-USB charging cable, no proprietorial connector means that you can replace the charger and cable for cheap, or buy spare ones.
-Full size USB port, makes data transfers and doing backups easy.
-Can use any windows software you already have or decide to download, don't have to go through an app store.
Cons:
-Intel SoC graphics, so far not impressed, but maybe this could be resolved with updated drivers in the future.
-32 App updates and 28 System updates should be installed once you boot up, system is not up-to-date, plan on spending an hour or so (depending on download speed) to complete this.
-The included charging cord is 3 feet long, hardly reaching anywhere; need a power outlet at your desk or the optional docking station. Good thing is that its USB and not propriatory, so I could buy a longer one for cheap.
-Windows media player seems to downscale videos, making them look pixelated and horrible in full-screen. Fixed this by downloading VLC (videolan.org) and using that for media playback instead.
-Lacking App store, this will change I guess in the coming months. I expected this though as an early adopter, but I still somewhat miss the numbers of alternatives the Google play store have.
Final words:
So far I love this device, screen is bright and clear even outside, its lightweight and have ample battery time for my use. However it should be noted that this is a productivity device (Office and mobile office duties, web-browsing, programming, light drawing and illustrating and other non-intensive tasks), if your main use is playing games, editing raw pictures or video then you are probably gonna be less impressed. Overall this is everything I expected it to be and a little bit more.

I bought a surface on release day and they are good, but this one seems much more sturdy in comparison. Don't get me wrong, the surface is a great machine, but it's what you can say is a definitive first generation. That hardware physically feels sturdy, but it's just not exactly a functional daily use machine like this one. The keyboard for the Lenovo is an additional $120 but i'm not afraid to clip it on the unit and set it in my lap, something I was afraid to do with my surface, it always felt like it would just fall out of the keyboard at any second if it wasn't on a desk. It runs fast with 2gb of ram and has plenty of ports for all of my equipment. I'm honestly not afraid to take this one out of the office and go anywhere with it, it's a great machine and well worth the little bit of extra money vs its competitors. The only drawback is the screen is slightly too reactive in my opinion out of the box. of course you can turn it down easily, but out of the box it seems to constantly double click every time you touch it. Once you modify the sensitivity it's near perfect!

I read over many reviews for window 8 tablets, I needed a tablet that can do everything without any restrictions. I previously had Surface RT but it was so restricted that I sold it. Lenovo has made a great working tablet for windows 8 with full windows 8 running on the tablet! The Tablet is fast,fluid at all features on windows 8, would recommend this for users that need a tablet that is light and can be used for work and home.
