Lenovo ThinkPad 10

A DIRECT RIVAL TO THE SURFACE 3.

GOING HEAD TO head against the likes of Microso ’s Surface 3, Lenovo’s inkPad 10 is another ultra-light weight tablet that packs a decent enough punch to operate as a laptop… provided you don’t mind shelling out for the optional keyboard. It’s got an identically sized screen to the Surface 3, but ups the resolution to an even better 1,900 x 1,200 pixels, and the extra pixels are easy to notice. ankfully Windows 10’s excellent new scaling features makes it easy to adjust font and icon size to t this resolution, and we think the Lenovo has a slight edge when it comes to portraying deep, dark blacks.

Following the Surface 3’s feature-list once more, the inkPad uses an identical Intel Atom x7-Z8700 Processor, a quad-cored jobbie that peaks at 2.4GHz. e memory con guration is also identical, at 4GB, but the SSD is smaller, measuring half the size at just 64GB. is will ll up in no time in today’s era of 4K movies and lossless audio les.

One of the agship features of this new tablet is its new digitiser pen; sadly it wasn’t included in our review sample, so we’ll have to take the word of friends who are familiar with it. Apparently it does a ne job, albeit not quite as impressively as the Surface Pen. And that’s the issue with this tablet in a nutshell – overall it’s a very solid, dependable machine, yet comes o second best when compared to the similarly priced, but sexier, Surface 3.
