LENOVO
debuted new Ultrabooks and ThinkPads as well as showing off prototypes at this
year's CES, but pride of place was the IdeaPad S2 - a neat little tablet that's
just a little reminiscent of the Asus Transformer Prime below.
Weighing
just over 1 kg with a keyboard dock, the 10.1-inch device runs the brand new
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The device isn't quad-core, instead running the
powerful 1.5GHz dual-core ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM 8960, which
should mean that pricing is competitive.
The
IPS display has a 1280 x 800 resolution. The tablet slots securely into the
dock and is extremely thin, but with the dock this becomes a couple of
centimetres in depth.
The
keyboard dock has a fairly utilitarian keyboard, but we reckon it's highly
practical and, what's more, it adds an extra 10 hours of battery life to the 10
hours of power within the tablet itself. The dock also gives you USB ports so
you can plug devices into the S2.
Unfortunately
there's no word on how much the IdeaTab S2 will cost just yet, but the Lenovo
representative did reveal that the IdeaPad S2 release date is set to be the
second quarter of the year.
