And they look photogenic, let us tell you! The Ideapad K1 shines in a blood red backside surrounded by shiny aluminum shade. The glossy 10.1” display panel looks cool, although a little too reflective for our taste. Lenovo chose to keep a glossy surface keeping the consumer segment in mind.

Thinkpad Tablet

Looking exactly opposite of the K1’s consumer-centric look, the Thinkpad tablet tries to retain the typical no-nonsense business look that the brand has been carrying since IBM times. In fact it is almost like you have the Thinkpad netbook without the hardware keyboard. The matte display will be more legible that that of the Ideapad K1 – especially while out there under the sun. It also carries the same 10.1″ 1280 x 800 pixels capacitive touch screen but with stylus support. The stylus is particularly useful for signing forms or writing and drawing business-related data. Full specs are not known yet.
