Lenovo ThinkPad Edge Twist Review

 

We weren’t surprised to find that Lenovo’s new convertible is a good laptop. The company’s experience in this area has paid off with Microsoft’s move towards touchscreen devices. No other convertible on the market can match the value proposition of the...

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist review: an old form factor gets new life with Windows 8

 

Lenovo updates a tried-and-true form factor with Windows 8, a bright IPS display and an excellent keyboard. However, longer battery life would have made this a better choice for road warriors.

Excellent keyboardGood port selectionWide viewing anglesUseful tools for businesses

Short battery lifePerformance trails without an SSDSome trackpad issues

Lately, we feel like all of our reviews of Windows 8 convertibles end the same way. The ThinkPad Twist has plenty going for it: a bright IPS display, a good port selection, an affordable price and an unrivaled typing experience. Like ThinkPads past, it...

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (3347-4HU)

 

The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (3347-4HU) ultrabook convertible is a natural evolution of the convertible tablet.

Convertible tablet form factor. More storage than SSD-only convertibles. Both TrackPoint and trackpad. Good keyboard. Optional WWAN.

Bulky. Only five touch points. Mini HDMI instead of full-size HDMI port.

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist review

 

In ten years, it seems like everything's changed — but maybe things aren't so different after all. In 2002, Acer revealed a PC that was also a tablet, the TravelMate 100. The convertible device...

Inexpensive for an ultrabook ; Good keyboard ; Swiveling screen is handy

Busy, sometimes ugly design ; Poor trackpad ; Terrible speakers

The swiveling works, but the Twist misses the mark

A classic take on convertibles in Lenovo's ThinkPad Twist

 

Skipping the newer flipping, folding, or sliding designs, the Twist goes back to a traditional center-hinge design.

The ; has great Lenovo construction, a responsive touch screen, and a center hinge for flipping into tablet mode, all for a very reasonable price.

The screen accelerometer can have a mind of its own, flipping into portrait view randomly. Battery life is merely OK, and the screen resolution is low for a modern laptop/tablet convertible.

Slightly less conservative-feeling than the average ThinkPad, the well-made ThinkPad Twist offers one of the better tablet modes from the first wave of Windows 8 convertibles.

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist Review (S230U)

 

With the release of Windows 8, Lenovo has been one of those PC manufacturers that have been stepping up to offer some unique portable machines that are built around Microsoft's newest operating system. We previously reviewed the Lenovo Yoga, which...

If you’re a long-time Lenovo user, the Twist will come to feel second nature to you as its keyboard, trackpad and TrackPoint will feel familiar to you as well as the slightly rubberized material it’s made out of. It certainly doesn’t have the same...

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (3347-4HU) Review

 

The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist is the best of both worlds. Able to work as a tablet and notebook, this business ultrabook offers on par performance with high quality design.

Great chassis design ; Display with wide viewing angles ; Comfortable keyboard

Weak battery life ; Mediocre performance ; The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist is a solid business class notebook that offers a great deal of versatility for its $900 price tag.

Review Lenovo ThinkPad Twist Convertible Ultrabook

 

Windows 8 with a twist. Lenovo’s unique ThinkPad Twist adopts the x-series’ design of a swivel-mounted screen alongside all the obligatory ThinkPad traits. But can it fulfill its intended role as a practical next-gen alternative to a conventional...

Great keyboard ; Inexpensive IPS display ; Impressive touch responsiveness ; Good CPU performance ; Above-average ports selection

Weak battery life ; Disappointing GPU performance ; High-gloss display with insufficient brightness ; A little larger/heavier than competing Ultrabooks ; Odd manufacturing quirks ; Irritating touchpad ; Slow to awaken from sleep

With a display this glossy, better brightness is a must. Our measurements fall far short of Lenovo’s quoted values. Also, the weak battery life hardly suffices in the business world

Review: Lenovo ThinkPad Twist turns and teases

 

One notebook, multiple modes: That's the idea behind Lenovo's ThinkPad Twist, a three-way combination of tablet, notebook, and presentation device. The basic idea is a good one, but many little annoyances -- both in the software and the hardware --...

Like many of the current crop of Ultrabooks and convertibles, the Twist is designed as a Windows 8 machine -- not just thanks to the Windows key button at bottom center, but also because of things like the function key that brings you to the search...
