Last year, pretty much every tech company under the sun focused on releasing prosumer devices. Which is why you may be forgiven for overlooking Lenovo's newly unveiled Thinkpad X1 Tablet here at CES 2016.

A bruiser of a business slate, but not the champion
Versatile modules ; Extendable battery life ; Excellent keyboard cover
Middling battery life ; Poor 'lapability'
For the ThinkPad diehards out there, you've just met the best business-bent tablet that money can buy. For everyone else, Apple or Microsoft's pro tablets can handle about the same tasks for less altogether.

Pricey and quirky, Lenovo's modular ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a formidable Surface Pro 4 rival
The ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a peculiar mix of the wonderful and the awkward, then, but how does it stack up against its key rivals, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and HP Elite X2 in terms of the overall package? In some ways it surpasses both of them,...

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a workhorse 2-in-1, but it's too expensive.
Solid productivity performance ; Excellent detachable keyboard ; Unique expansion options ; Fanless design ; Strong build quality test for MIL-SPEC 810G
Not as sleek as Surface Pro ; Can get hot when working hard ; Display doesn’t measure up for the price ; Battery life is just ok
The ThinkPad X1 Tablet is not a perfect 2-in-1, but it is a good one. It offers a robust build that’s more resistant to dings and dents than most tablets, and its detachable keyboard is superior to most. It’s held back, however, by a mediocre display...

With its redesigned ThinkPad X1 Tablet, Lenovo serves the Surface Pro notice. This 13-inch showpiece Windows 10 slate packs a fine pen, a top-shelf keyboard cover, and Thunderbolt 3 support.

Lenovo's second-generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a solid, if slightly anemic, two-in-one PC that changes little. Unfortunately, some of its competition has caught up to it.
Generally solid construction with some smart design touches ; Fold-down kickstand makes for a comfortable lap experience ; Fingerprint reader adds Windows Hello capabilities
Mediocre performance ; At press time, on the pricey side ; Expansion modules cost extra
Though the Lenovo X1 tablet and keyboard are shipped as a single unit, Lenovo refers to the keyboard as the ThinkPad X1 Tablet Thin Keyboard Gen 2, as opposed to the first-generation keyboard that shipped with the original X1 Tablet.

Lenovo's second stab at the versatile ThinkPad X1 Tablet is so subtle, you'd never be able to tell from the looks of it. The latest model of the high-end two-in-one hybrid has new seventh-gen Intel processors (up to Core i7) and optional WiGig and...
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a sharp screen and offers flexibility through optional modular accessories. Its excellent detachable keyboard is one of the best of its kind.
It has below-average battery life. It's expensive considering its performance.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is a unique professional tablet with modular accessories, though you can find a similar two-in-one hybrid with better battery life for less money.

This Windows slate has the standard keyboard cover, but also offers optional add-ons, from a projector to a port replicator.
Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet offers modular add-on options, and has a sharp display and a great keyboard.
The Intel Core m3 base model is not the fastest machine around, and adding faster parts and optional modules can get expensive. There's no slot or magnetic anchor for the optional stylus.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 tablet isn't as slick as some other Windows tablets, but its modular add-ons give it a cool built-to-order feel.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet boasts a superb kickstand, smartly designed pen attachments, a solid keyboard, and good-enough performance. It ranks highly among the convertible tablets we've tested.
Superbly designed kickstand makes lap use comfortable again ; Dual pen loop/holders actually secure the pen, unlike competition ; Traditional ThinkPad keyboard performs respectably
A little slower than the competition ; Trackpad and pen could improve ; Pricey enough that you'll want your company to pay for it
The ThinkPad X1 Tablet’s chip runs at the same 1.1GHz core clock speed as the chip in the competing HP Elite x2. Though the two chips are , the x2’s processor includes both vPro and a set of instructions focused on multithreaded performance scaling....

The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 combines touch, all-day battery life, and ThinkPad styling to the Windows 8 Slate tablet market. It's not a bad first effort, but rivals currently have the upper hand.
