I have came across the same video and noticed the same thing a while ago. Looks like Lenovo doesn't provide solution for charging and using USB at the same time, this is disappointing. However, I believe the folks over tablereview forum had found solutions to charge dell venue 8 pro and use its USB port at the same time. You could either mod your USB hub or buy certain cables to make it work. I would assume this work with thinkpad 8 too. There's also modified usb hub for sale in Chinese taobao.com and a Japanese website. I bought the tablet the day it went on sale, but still have to wait until march for delivery. :(
