Background and Identification
The ThinkPad Tablet line is a series of business-oriented tablets developed by Lenovo under the ThinkPad brand, best known for its durable laptops. Unlike traditional ThinkPad laptops, these tablets were designed to offer portability while retaining enterprise features like encryption and remote management.
The first model, the ThinkPad Tablet, was released in August 2011 and ran Android 3.1 Honeycomb. It included features tailored to professional users, such as SD card encryption, anti-theft software, and stylus support.
Its successor, the ThinkPad Tablet 2, was released in October 2012 and switched to Windows 8 Pro. It supported full desktop applications and marked a shift toward Windows-based hybrid devices.
Later Windows models include:
- ThinkPad Helix (2013) – A hybrid device with a detachable keyboard and Intel Core processors.
- ThinkPad Helix 2 (2014) – A thinner, lighter version with improved battery life.
- ThinkPad X201 Tablet – A convertible laptop with a swivel screen, bridging the gap between traditional laptops and tablets.
Additional models such as the ThinkPad 8 and ThinkPad 10 were also part of the broader ThinkPad tablet lineup, often offering Windows 8 support and accessories like detachable keyboards and docking stations.
Device model numbers are typically found on a sticker on the back cover or within system settings under “About This Device.”
