The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 2 is a lightweight hybrid that packs the punch of a heavyweight when it comes to performance. The versatile X1 is right at home in the office, the classroom or the playroom. It’s this versatility that I think is the strong suit of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 tablet Gen 2.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Tablet (2017) does little to differentiate itself from the company’s first-generation X1 Tablet, and we’re generally okay with that. Lenovo kept what we liked most—the comfy kickstand, fingerprint reader, and modular accessories—but upgraded the new 12-inch ThinkPad X1 Tablet with an Intel Kaby Lake chip to bring it in line with the competition.

As the charts above demonstrate, the Lenovo X1 Tablet (2017) is an average two-in-one tablet, ranking somewhat beneath its competition in terms of performance and battery life. Still, while the performance is somewhat limiting, you’ll probably be pleased with the overall quality.

The ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a more rugged business alternative to Microsoft’s Surface Pro, boasting excellent construction, superb keyboard ergonomics and Lenovo’s own unique kickstand twist that makes the detachable more lapable when used as a laptop. This year, Lenovo upgraded the X1 Tablet’s processor to Intel’s latest Y-Series Kaby Lake chipset, which comes with better processing and graphics performance, and made some subtle design tweaks that improves on an already respectable build.

Still, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 isn’t a bad machine. If you’re looking for something that covers the middle ground between productivity and pleasure then the X1 may be the perfect two-in-one to fill that gap. It’s just a bit expensive for something that doesn’t dominate any particular segment of the market.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Tablet is a wonderful machine, and I really did enjoy using it. In fact, if I had the cellular model, I'd say that the additional connectivity is worth the drop in performance from the Y-series processor.

Lenovo's second generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet as configured for this review costs over $200 more ($1,547 and change). That makes it a tougher recommendation and what it all really boils down are the business features. Do you need an Intel vPro setup? What about TPM security? If the answer is yet, then the ThinkPad X1 Tablet wins by default, because it has these features and the Galaxy Book 12 does not. It is also expandable with add-on modules, and can be serviced and upgraded by snapping off the rear cover. Otherwise, there are faster and less expensive alternatives out there, even in Lenovo's own stable.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is a unique professional tablet with modular accessories, though you can find a similar two-in-one hybrid with better battery life for less money.

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.

77%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
