Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet 2017, Core i7-7Y75

The ThinkPad X1 Tablet does best when viewed as a premium tablet designed for business. It can, of course, be used in the home, but there we suspect its drab all-black exterior might make it less attractive next to designer competition like the Huawei MateBook. For business, the ThinkPad X1 Tablet offers top-notch features, such as Intel vPro support, a Wacom digitizer in its excellent 12-inch screen, available WWAN 4G, and a wide variety of hardware configurations. Its keyboard, included in our review unit’s $1,499 price, continues to be one of our favorite detachable tablet keyboards.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a capable and well-made business 2-in-1. The detachable design boasts excellent construction and a superb keyboard, and the tablet performed fairly well in most performance tests. But although the 2016 model stood out as one of the best business 2-in-1s to hit the market, the newer model doesn't feel like an improvement.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
