My son would like to introduce you to the Lenovo Ideatab Lynx keyboard Dock which completes the Ideatab Lynx order I placed last week. I’ve already put an early review out for the tablet but the review won’t be complete until I’ve spent some time with the keyboard. The unit cost 150 Euro and includes keyboard, mouse, 2xUSB 2.0 and a micro-USB charging port. This article has been updated after an extended testing session. See [update] sections below.

Note that the 60Wh battery only costs $80 ($55 as a purchase choice) at Dell.com so there’s a lot of scope for multi-day working without using  the charger. Gorilla Glass covered screen, magnesium chassis, docking options and, […]

I’ve never been a big fan of tablet PCs. A ultra mobile PC with 5-7 inch screen, yes but the classic tablet pc with digitizer and 11.6 or greater screen size was too awkward for me, Too heavy to hold in one hand, with poor battery life and screen input limited to a pen with a focus on handwriting, was far from my idea of fun or productivity.

I had the opportunity to pick up a Lenovo Ideatab Lynx from the local store today and as it’s a new entrant to the Clovertrail tablet market I though it would be worth snapping it up for a test. The unboxing video is below. I haven’t got the keyboard dock yet but that should arrive next week.

I mentioned the timeline for Haswell-based Ultrabooks in an article about Connected Standby yesterday so let me just bring that up-front for you to see (and discuss) today.
