12.2 hours is very impressive. I wonder if Apple will be able to match that with their next refresh?

Wrong.. I need gamer graphics, to me they missed the mark here by going to top end processor and leaving no room for a better gpu.
A I5 with a ATI chip would have made a far better machine. Something it seems that no company is looking taking the chance at implementing in the tablet form. Sad really.

Gamer graphics is not always needed to just play games, Everything from playing video , to graphics software to gaming would have benefited with a better gpu.
And if one is not near a socket for juice, there is the option to switch to lowly intel graphics to save power.

They missed the mark on this one.

putting a gpu inside a contained space would make too much heat. This device is meant to sit on your arm, therefore weight and heat is a major consideration. Right now we don't have the tech to do this right and that is why they haven't. Orrrr the tech to do it is so expensive that it makes it impossible to sell. ]]>Feb 23rd 2010 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/If you really want to play games than buy a gaming desktop or a console.

All of you are missing the point....I want gaming power, which can be used for video playback, photoshop rendering and overall performace....I haven't played a "GAME" since college, but I still purchase my machines with options that are capable to play "GAMES"

I look at a laptop like the Asus G73JH and wonder why they can't just make it wtih a swivel screen which turns into a tablet...I want somethign when I travel, that I can do everything from photoshop to play HD videos (since my collection is ripped and storge in HD quality)

We are the norm, and for people who spend $2000 on these kind of specs listed with this lenovo without a GPU are just dumb.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220695&Tpk=34-220-695

I want those specs, no matter the thickness, in a tablet.

@dumbo I am 6'6'' 250 lbs, and it is my height that permits me to watch videos on a damn plane, not my weight lol...but if I had a tablet, I could just angle in a viewing angle that works...

THIS IS A TABLET PC NOT A BRICK YOU KEEP IN YOUR PURSE/BACKPACK TO HIT MUGGERS WITH.

In the Notebook world, you pay for size and weight, just like you pay more for a Lotus Elise then a 5-series with more HP. Lack of Weight and and Diminutive (within reason) size are features. Intel Integrated graphics = LOW HEAT. Tablet's already have enough dumped in the internals. They also have lower heat flowers ( at least in theory they should ), because a person is more likely to be in contact ( holding the tablet in their arms, etc.) with any part of the case. So unlike that 17" Behemoth that is likely going to be 120 F on the bottom near the heat vent, Tablet PCs rarely get anywhere near that hot. Go look at a review for the X200 Tablet, they peak at ~ 100F. This is called a feature, it takes engineering, serious trade offs, and lots of money to properly produce, hence increase in the cost of the product.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/
Actually, I understand your point, but a core i7 with integrated graphics will easily run HD video and Photoshop provided it has enough RAM. Will you be editing HD video on the go? No, but who buys a 12 inch screen to edit video? Will it be a bit slower in Photoshop, yes. Just don't blame the manufacturers for not making a machine that isn't really possible right now. Remember, 12 inch screen. That doesn't give them a lot of room to play with. And you may not care about the thickness, weight, and heat, but most tablet buyers do.

A few years from now when all the chips are smaller and heat is less, you may get your wish in a product that appeals to everyone.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/
Your all incorrect, the tech is here and being used, Hp's TM2 is a prime example of a 12 inch tablet pc that is putting out very little heat with a ati video card that performs admirably in directx 9 games.
The only thing underwelming in the TM2 is they should have gone with a i5 chip.

I've been reading alot of personal reviews from owners of the TM2 and they are all very satisfied. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-tablet-review/
Epic if your in the U.S. take a look at HP's TM2
Read what others have said regarding its graphics, It's got some power to play games released not to long ago.

Thanks JJ, I have been waiting to pull a trigger on the said HP for a while now. It is definitely the best specd tablet pc on the market. Howerver, in their earlier models, there were problems with faulty mobos, but now I think they resolved it. I never like buying HP or DELL, but it looks like I might have to go ahead the HP recommendation to satify my needs.

It just pissses me off that in 2010, companies still short you are performance somewhere. This lenovo is a great tablet except for the GPU, but if you are going to pay 2 G's for a product, it should have comparable specs to another 2 G product and unfortuneately tablets fall short. Acer, Asus and Nividia have made switchable graphics a reality, just don't understand why more companies won't adopt this for +$1200 laptops....

Oh well, I will wait for my HP to go on sale lol

Thanks JJ
