Lenovo’s forthcoming business oriented device, ThinkPad tablet is all set to be launched on August 23. It is said to be priced at starting price of $47 9.99. This is going to be using Android’s Honeycomb 3.1 OS along with a standard hardware load-out.

The ThinkPad tab includes a Nvidia’s Tegra 2 dual core processor that operates at 1 GHZ and a system memory of 1 GB. Its IPS display of 10.1 inch offers a resolution of 1280X800 and comes covered with Corning Gorilla glass. One will be able to get the tablets with the capacities of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB.

On simply glancing at the ThinkPad, it appears to be same as any other 10.1 inch Android tablets already available in the market. However, on closely investigating one can say that the optional accessories that it offers can catch some attention of the buyers.

The dock of the tablet provides data synchronization, charging, and even the expansion of the device in an ergonomically created vertical positioning stand. One gets a micro USB port, USB 2.0 port, HDMI port, stereo out, and microphone in. Other than this, one can configure it with ThinkPad USB keyboard or a combo or Edge wireless keyboard and mouse.

If you are ready to spend a little more you can also get special tablet pen and keyboard folio case by paying some additional amount. Its stylus pen will be appreciated by graphic artists or the users who have already used the older versions of Lenovo tablets but it seems less likely to be liked by the newer users.

Its keyboard folio has a special possibility of being converted into a netbook like device quite similar to the Transformer tablet of Asus which the users have much liked in the recent times.

Other than the accessories that it is providing, one gets hold of 25 additional applications preloaded on the tablet which will prove beneficial in providing better usage and experience.
