  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist has relatively little competition in the convertible Windows 8 touchscreen camp. In fact, Lenovo's own IdeaPad Yoga 13 may be its biggest competitor. Even in a more populated field, we can see why the Twist has sold so well s...

  • Four different form factors, Excellent keyboard and controls, Utility-packed business software, Above-average port selection, Great price
  • Poor battery life, Pedestrian display and audio, No pen support
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist sports an old-school design that fits the new-school Windows 8 like a glove. It shines as the first Win 8 hybrid with a firm business focus, but the ultrabook's scanty battery life could turn off frequent travelers. ...

  • 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
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (3347-4HU) ultrabook convertible is really a clamshell laptop convertible tablet like the ones that Lenovo has been making for the past half-dozen years. It's the natural evolution of the Tablet PC concept of the mid-2000s, in 2...

  • 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
  • The ThinkPad TwistIn spite of the somewhat confusing misnomer, the ThinkPad Twist is actually a member of the Edge family. This is Lenovo's attempt at producing an affordable, business-minded convertible that compromises in a few key areas in hopes that i...
