If you’ve been eying something like the Surface Pro, the Helix is a much better choice. It delivers tons of options, better battery life, and a keyboard that is actually useful in a way that you’ll feel comfortable. The ThinkPad Helix really does a lo...
Good performance, sharp full HD IPS display, Wacom digitizer with pen, works equally as well as a tablet or laptop, very good keyboard

Abstract: That's not a death sentence for the lovely Helix, since Haswell isn't appreciably faster than Ivy Bridge, but Haswell does bring battery life improvements. Happily the ThinkPad Helix fights back with respectable battery life of 5 hours for the tablet and ...
