Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2
Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
No more fans. Core-M makes it possible: The new ThinkPad Helix 2 is available without a fan for the first time, but is still supposed to provide sufficient performance for all important applications. Can the versatile convertible meet the high expectations of business customers?

All told, Lenovo's second-generation ThinkPad Helix is a compelling product with a winning design, but one that charges extra for its form-factor flexibility. Considering the size of the display and the performance it delivers, the Helix is a premium choice among laptop/tablet hybrids; you'll likely need to make an extra-special pitch to whoever holds the purse strings for your office or department.

With its strong productivity performance, long battery life and useful digital pen, the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 provides much of what business users need. This being Lenovo, the Helix 2 also has one of the best keyboards we've used in a tablet hybrid. Dell's Venue 11 Pro 7000 has a more colorful display and even longer battery life, but it has a slower SSD and it runs hotter.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix (2015) review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
Just who is the pricey ThinkPad Helix for? Clearly it isn't competing with Android tablets or the iPad. Perhaps not even the Surface Pro 3 – it would be silly to. All three have their own niche which they cover well, and Lenovo might not succeed if it took them head-on at their own game.

The ThinkPad Helix ticks all the right boxes for an enterprise convertible from a hardware and design perspective. Featuring a functionally built tablet section that's fully loaded with ports, a stylus and a solid keyboard attachment, the ThinkPad Helix is one of the best convertibles currently on the market.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix Review
Source: Techspot Archive.org version
I like the concept behind the ThinkPad Helix: a powerful, portable, business-oriented tablet with a reasonably large display that can be easily converted into a laptop on the go. With features like a fingerprint scanner and stylus, it’s meant to present a good alternative to other convertibles like the Asus Transformer Book or Surface 3 Pro.
