  • Twist design feels robust, responsive keyboard, flexible form factor,
  • Design looks a bit cheap, screen resolution not great
  • The ThinkPad Twist ditches the usual ultrabook style in favour of robust practicality. The screen resolution may be so-so but there are no complaints about its sensitivity and the responsive keyboard feels great too. The twist option is a tried and tes...

  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist is nice and solid laptop. It has a number of business-oriented features and sports a very reasonable price tag. There is also room for improvement in certain areas, such as a higher resolution screen. We would also have preferr...

  • Lenovo has joined the Windows 8 party with the Twist, a ThinkPad that uses the traditional hinged method to switch between its laptop and tablet modes, and it's a good piece of design - but, while the usual ThinkPad visuals are in place, build quality ...

  • Build quality not up to usual ThinkPad standard, Poor battery life, Bog-standard screen res, No optional digitizer stylus
  • The snazzily named ThinkPad Twist S230U is a generally great little Windows 8 touch-enabled convertible Ultrabook in a tried and proven swivel form factor, surprisingly let down by minor build quality niggles and poor battery life, while we also miss a Wa...

  • Convertible tablet form factor, More storage than SSDonly convertibles, Both TrackPoint and Trackpad, Smart 12.5in IPS display
  • Only five touch points, MiniHDMI instead of fullsize HDMI port
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist excels at some things (its keyboard, familiar layout, screen quality), yet is middling at others (battery life, weight, five-point touch). It lacks the ThinkPad X230t's included stylus, so it's certainly not as capable as that ...

  • Although the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist has its flaws, it does what it's designed to do very well. That is, it's a fantastic business-oriented tablet-Ultrabook hybrid, and it's a great choice for a business user. The Twist's performance is a little on the l...
