We were impressed with the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 ultraportable notebook that debuted this past summer with Intel's Centrino 2 platform, and for an encore, Lenovo has a treat for the tablet aficionados among us: the ThinkPad X200 Tablet. This business-focused machine has all the benefits of the X200 notebook, with added features that make it an outstanding-if pricey-tablet. Wrapped in their familiar matte-black cloaks, the X200 and X200 Tablet look very similar, but there are some subtle differences. The X200 Tablet is actually a bit larger, measuring three-quarters of an inch deeper front-to-back. It's also about half a pound heavier (3.55 pounds, versus 3 pounds for the standard X200). But other attributes remain the same, from the impeccable (and very peckable) ThinkPad keyboard to the lack of an onboard optical drive-a typical, though not universal, omission in this class.
