ThinkPad X1 Tablet (2016)

Well, that is yet to be seen. For some reason I think they have thought this through. Probably some sort of high resolution Pico projector, but I could obviously be wrong because I haven't seen any spec on it yet.

I'm willing to bet 720p. Unless they severely overhauled the projector from the one on the recently released Yoga 3 Tab Pro, it'll likely be the same.

 

In Japan the tv in smaller business hotels is small and ports aren't available so projecting on a white wall appears an enticing choice. In luxury hotels they have 55"screens and ports are usually available do I guess a Miracast is an option. I was imagining lying on bed and screening it on the ceiling. Perhaps a tad of wishful thinking?

The keyboard looks nice. The trackpoint is probably optical, no? The keys look a lot like the Surface SP4 keyboard. http://liliputing.com/2016/01/closer-look-at-the-lenovo-thinkpad-x1-modular-tablet.html

 

I think its a real TrackPoint, not just an optical one.

 

Why cant this have a built in super cap pen? This would have won me over 120%.

 

I'm not thrilled either, although i am pretty happy they tried something new.

The way they connect isn't that great (it's way to difficult/complicated) and they don't offer enough. A projector? Really niche. A realsense camera? Even more niche. The battery module? Everyone would want it...if it didn't make the keyboard incompatible. Talk about deal breaker there. Not to mention it only adds two real ports, and a onelink dock connector. It's a good start, maybe next year?

 

The battery module doesn´t make the keyboard incompatible^^

 

Yeah, it surprised me there wasn't a Gigabit Ethernet connector on the productivity module.

the keyboard will work with the battery module
