The Lenovo Idea Pad is another tablet that is hoping to compete with the Apple iPad. The design is certainly innovative - it sort of combines a tablet with a netbook.
Here are the features:
- Touch screen with 180 degree screen rotation
- Intel Atom N450 processor technology
- 10.1 inch LED backlight display
- Wi-Fi (but no bluetooth)
- Windows 7 Home Start
- 1.3M web camera
- USB port and card reader
- VeriFace face recognition log in
- VeriFace Touch based log in
- battery life between three and five hours
- 250GB HDD storage
- Stereo speakers with Dolby Headphone surround sound
The design of the IdeaPad looks cool, but all reports are that it is not as fast as the iPad. Of course one of the reasons the iPad tablet is quick is that they eliminated Flash and other system hogs. The Ideapad also runs on Windows7, which means that any software that runs on Windows should run on this. All in all, not a bad effort at a tablet, but not as good as the ipad or the Viliv X70EX.
