Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2nd Gen

 

Lenovo's ThinkPad Helix 2nd Gen detachable-hybrid laptop is a big improvement over the original, but it still faces stiff competition.

Detachable, multimode design. 10-inch, full HD touch screen. Docking keyboard adds dual-pointing device, more ports, and extra battery. Long battery life.

Too much flex in the frame. Mediocre performance in testing.

Conclusion The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2nd Gen is a significant improvement over the original Helix, with better battery life, competent performance, and a better docking keyboard design. But even with these improvements, a lot can change in two years,...

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 Tablet Review

 

No more fans. Core-M makes it possible: The new ThinkPad Helix 2 is available without a fan for the first time, but is still supposed to provide sufficient performance for all important applications. Can the versatile convertible meet the high...

Full size USB 3.0, LTE modem, Numerous docking solutions, Digitizer included, Full-fledged keyboard, Bright, high-contrast display, Good application performance, Fanless, Low temperature development, 3-year warranty

Stability and build quality can be improved, Small touchpad, No maintainability or upgradeability, Display hinges and additional battery only in combination with Pro-keyboard, High price

With the ThinkPad Helix 2, Lenovo improved the basic idea of its first generation tablet and business notebook combined in a single device. This required a lot of hardware compromises, but the overall package is now much better thanks to the new CPU...

The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 is a convertible tablet with an attachable keyboard that is strictly meant for business. How does it perform in its duties? Keep reading our Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 review to find out.

Solid 2-in-1 for business users.

The connection between the tablet and keyboard dock could be stronger.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 convertible business tablet

 

An Intel Core M CPU makes the ThinkPad Helix 2 run silently, gives it a bit more battery life

Silent operation ; WACOM digitiser and pen ; Full HD screen ; Built-in ports

Build quality a little creaky ; Standard keyboard dock doesn't actively hold the tablet in place, restricting laptop use

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 review

 

The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix is an excellent convertible with a good range of ports, robust design and solid performance, and it shows a clear business focus lacking in many Windows 8.1 devices. However, with prices starting at £1,000 for the most basic...

Wealth of ports; solid design and docking mechanism; good battery by laptop standards; decent performance; responsive stylus

Expensive; screen is prone to glare
