Good build quality, Thin and light, Excellent keyboard, Great hardware value
Limited connectivity, Extremely dim display backlight, Runs hot when displaying 3D graphics, Confusing bloatware
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 ...

The ThinkPad Twist 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.
Comfortable, responsive keyboard, Fast boot time, Wide viewing angles, Solid audio,
Short battery life, Small and hard-to-locate power button, Weak webcam, No pen support, Slow wake from sleep
The ThinkPad Twist offers a sleek convertible design and responsive touch screen, but this Windows 8 convertible's short battery life is a dealbreaker.

Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist Windows 8 convertible tablet / Ultrabook. It has a 12.5″ IPS display running at 1366 x 768 with 10 points of multi-touch. It's a fully Windows machine that can handle anything an Ultrabook can, and it's availabl...
Apart from the excellent display, then, it provides little in the way of excitement. The pricier model, which adds 3G and a speedier SSD, makes the Twist more viable for businesses, but it's still no award-winner...
Easy conversion from notebook to laptop, Useful built-in connectivity features, Plentiful and relatively fast storage
Screen orientation sensor didn't work well for us, Touchpad could be better, Overly glossy design
The Lenovo Twist has a conventional design that can allow it to be used easily as a notebook or as a tablet. It has a decent configuration and a useful set of built-in features, but it's not without its problems. Our review unit had poorly performing sens...

The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist is not particularly powerful when compared to other ultrabooks on the market and some aspects of the design feel underbaked. That said, this is a highly versatile Windows 8 laptop that will suit business users migrating to the ne...
