The X201t has power that ensures that it can compete with laptops not even in its segment. The 12.1-inch matte screen is brighter than expected and doesn't give the look of a touchscreen, since color reproduction is decent and the viewing angles are very good. The screen folds over the keyboard, transforming into a tablet or can be rotated 360 degrees thanks to the sturdy bi-directional hinge. It features the classic thinkpad design shrunk into a small form factor with the Magnesium alloy body, soft touch graphite lid and is perfectly square shaped.

The keyboard retains the tactility and firmness and the only problem with the keyboard is the placement of the function key in the place of the control key. The tablet touch is precise and recognizes pen and finger input very well. The capacitive touchscreen makes doing multi-touch gestures a breeze with it being responsive to even light taps. Though, the small display resolution did restrict us to using mostly the pen, since the buttons and icons were small. The X201t managed multi-tasking without any lag and handled almost all office productivity applications with ease. On a full load, the battery managed 2:35 which translates to around 3:30 or even at maximum 4 hours of real world varied usage. An Ultra Low Voltage i7 will still take up quite a lot of power and as a result has an impact on the battery score. The biometric scanner located just under the screen needed a bit of an effort to register a fingerprint but after that it recognized them at the first swipe.

Bottomline: If you're looking for a 'tablet' with the performance of a high powered laptop, then look no further.
