Pretty cool device, IMHO, when you consider all the add-ons and configuration possibilities. Have a look at the Blog Article: Let's check out Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 Tablet for 2016 | Windows Central

It starts out as a 12" tablet with FHD+ display in a 3:2 aspect ratio and has a built in stand with multiple positioning.

There is pen support as well. Very welcome news for tablet hunters these days.

The Thinkpad X1 has a Skylake Core M processor for decent performance to battery savings ratio in a fanless form factor. It can be purchased with up to 16GB RAM and SSD of up to 1TB. It also uses LTE for power users on the road so they can stay connected.

The fun really starts when you look at the 3 modules that can be added on:
  • An Intel RealSense camera for Windows Hello and scanning 3D objects
  • An extended battery pack (adds 5 hours screen time) that also increases the number of ports by adding one each of the following: USB 3.0, , full HDMI and OneLink
  • A full QWERTY keyboard with a cursor track stick, touchpad and harware buttons for mouse function

Here are some brief spec highlights:
  • 12-inch display at FHD+ (2160x1440), 3:2 aspect ratio
  • Intel Skylake Core M processor
  • USB-C port (fully spec'd for video and charging)
  • USB 3.0
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • microSD and a 3.5mm headset jack
  • Built in kickstand

Prices will start at $899 for the base spec model and modules will be $149 for the RealSense and power pack or $279 for the keyboard module.

I think there is a lot of potential and customization in this product.

Do you have the TP X1 and some modules? Which modules? What do you think of the modules? Do they enhance the product for you?
