Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet 1st Gen

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet 1st Gen

This thing is okay. It’s thin and light. With the optional “productivity module,” you get an additional USB port and hours more battery life. Unfortunately, the keyboard is flimsy, unstable, and the touchpad cannot be disabled, which makes it difficult to type without accidentally moving the mouse pointer. The Wacom tablet doesn’t work in 9front, so you get free glossy display surface with none of the benefits.
