A university in New Jersey, US has chosen to provide its students with the Lenovo Helix hybrid after evaluation against pure Ultrabooks and Tablets. Seton Hall University expects to deploy around 2000 units with the first batch coming in for final build and testing in just a few weeks. Others appear to have already received them and the first independent video review is already up at YouTube and embedded for you below.
The Lenovo Helix hybrid Ultrabook/Tablet has generated more interest than any other product we’ve covered here and naturally many people are waiting for availability and final pricing. In Japan today, Lenovo announced that the Thinkpad Helix is now available for pre-order and delivery towards the end of April so it shouldn’t take long to filter through to other countries.
Is the wait almost over? The question about when the Lenovo Helix would be made available looks to be getting clearer and may be answered in a few short weeks, at least for US buyers according to the official Lenovo twitter account.
The highly anticipated Lenovo Thinkpad Helix, originally slated to be released in February has been delayed, according to Lenovo’s Facebook page.
Back in October we caught sight of the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix, an 11.6-inch slate Ultrabook with a dockable keyboard. Now, as CES begins, Lenovo has made the thus far elusive unit official, including the starting price ($1499) and release date (late February).
The question is, What touch-enabled Ultrabook design do you prefer? The results are clear. Nearly 40% of you prefer the removable tablet design à la Surface Pro, Helix, SmartPC Pro, Q702, Transformer Book and Iconia Tab W700 (see them all here.)
Unconfirmed but appearing in the flesh on photos in China is the Lenovo Thinkpad Helix, an 11.6” Core-based Tablet with keyboard docking station in much the same style as the Lenovo Ideapad Lynx, a more consumer-focused dockable tablet built around the Intel Atom Clover Trail platform. Details are think on the ground but we’ve pulled together as much as we can for you.
There’s some confusion about the mechanism here but after looking and reading through a number of reports, we’re going to say it has a single-sided screen that can dock with the screen facing forward or backwards.
