Is this the best overall Tablet?

boswd · 09-02-2011, 09:03 AM

the more I've been looking into the the ThinkPad Lenovo I just don't see a more featured rich tablet on the market. Even though this is geared more towards business's , I can totally see this being a great personal tablet pc beyond running just apps.

What do you guys think?

It certainly sounds like it'd be at or near the top of the heap. I do like some of the pre-installed software (like ebuddy, Zinio, and Kindle), but I would much rather them just leave the software choices to the user instead of forcing them on the device.

It does look like a very nice tablet.

It's a nice tablet. I really like the digitizer pen.

Hardware wise I still think the thrive is the best solution for me.

thrive's full sized ports are nice indeed. I love the folio keyboard on this thing. Be interesting to see if this makes any inroads in the corporate world.

Do you know if this Model is considered the upgrade to the thrive or is this a new line altogether.

i think its a separate device but they havent said.

They cant have developed a whole new device in the month or so since the Thrive debuted so it had to be nearly concurrent development. Sort of like Samsung offering different sizes, the Thrive is oriented towards those who would want the swappable battery and full size ports while this AT200 is for those who like the thinness of the Sammy 10.1 but were disappointed by the lack of ports(that would be me)
