The Lenovo ThinkPad 10 is a Windows tablet with a full HD display, one of the fastest Intel Atom processors available, support for digital pen input, and up to 128GB of built-in storage.
While Lenovo’s not actually selling the tablet yet, leaks have been popping up for weeks and there’s not much we don’t know about the ThinkPad 10 at this point. Now we may even know the launch date: May 14th.
The latest version of Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablets and Convertibles product specification reference guide (PDF link) lists a May 14th announce date for several configurations of the ThinkPad 10.
The document confirms that the tablet’s features will include:
- 10.1 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel displays with 170 degree viewing angles
- Intel Atom Z3795 quad-core processors with Intel HD 4600 graphics
- Support for finger and digital pen input
- Optional keyboard or touch cases
- 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 micro HDMI port, 1 headset jack, and 1 micro SIM card slot on select models
- 802.11n a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional LTE/HSPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- 8MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing camera
- 33Whr battery
Enterprise-friendly features include optional TPM security and fingerprint sensors, and Lenovo will offer models with either Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro software.
While the platform supports up to 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and 64-bit software, it looks like most of the models that will be available at launch will feature 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and 32-bit versions of Windows.
The tablet’s expected to offer up to 10 hours of run time while playing videos, up to 110 hours of battery life while playing MP3 music with the screen off, and up to 26 days of standby time.
It has an aluminum frame and a WiFi-only model measures 10.1″ x 7″ x 0.35″ and weighs just over 1.3 pounds.
thanks Samuel!

I’m scared to ask how much the 4gb Ram, and 64-bit OS will cost
I wouldn’t be surprised if the starting price was
$500, with the tricked-up full-blown version being
$800, for the tablet, and $150 for the keyboard.
$500 is reasonable, considering the Dell Venue 11 Pro is almost identical specs (Z3770 instead of 3795, but benchmarks have shown the 3795 doesn’t perform any faster). The Dell is $600+.
I got intel core i3 version of dell venue 11 pro on ebay for $500. That is with 128gb of storage. It is a bit thick but I like it so far. The battery only lasts about 5 hours but it is i3. Will be ordering keyboard dock soon. Only thing I hate about the dell is the back cover. I took it off and can’t get it to stay on! I probably broke a clip or something. It is driving me insane! I ordered a case so hopefully that will hold it on.
Probably a May 14th announcement with very limited availability and actual general availability in the Summer or later. Just look at the ThinkPad 8 or any past ThinkPad Lenovo has released.
I’m sure the 64-bit and WWAN options would be even later.
Will the keyboard physically attach and have an adjustable angle this time? Yes, I just want a 10″ Bay Trail notebook.
Prolly not. On tablet pc review forum pictures it looks like a fixed angle.
No one does adjustable angle! Except fuji stylistic
Everyone should totally totally copy its design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2yVvGja71g
Omg, that’s horrible.
Looks good to me. Does Fujitsu sell this in black? Preferably a matte back. White on electronics are always ugly to me.
I’m looking forward to seeing reviews and pricing. It’s about time that Lenovo refreshed their 10″ Windows tablet product line. The Helix and ThinkPad tablet 2 are pretty old.
Correct me if am wrong but If you look at those models, its like they all have a digitizer. I didn’t see it as an optional feature. Although i did notice that the camera is listed as ‘optional’. Weird!!
Found some models with no digitizer.

No microSD? I’d love to upgrade my ThinkPad tablet 2 but without SD there’s no point.
