Good news, if you’re in the market for tablets, it looks like Lenovo has just unveiled three new ones that you may choose from! They are the IdeaPad K1, ThinkPad and the IdeaPad P1. The first two tablets should see a release in August while the P1 still has an unspecified release date, although it should be out sometime later this year.
The ThinkPad will be Lenovo’s tablet aimed at the business user in mind, and it will feature a stylus, but unfortunately the stylus will cost $30. If you think about it, compared to the HTC Flyer’s $80 stylus, it is a lot cheaper. It will also feature a dual-core processor, front and back-facing cameras and includes a number of connectivity options, such as HDMI output, USB 2.0 port, micro USB port, SIM card slot, 3-in-1 memory card reader. It will be available first in WiFi only, with the 3G version following later, although no word on which carrier will be the one carrying it.
The IdeaPad K1 is a typical run-of-the-mill consumer tablet, sporting a dual-core 1-GHz Nvidia Tegra-2 processor backed by a full gig of RAM with a 10.1-inch display. More or less the same specs found on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, but with a price tag of $500 for the 32GB, it appears to cost as much as the iPad 2.
Last but not least is the IdeaPad P1. Featuring 1.5-GHz Intel processor, it can also support up to 2 GB of DDR2 memory, and will come in both Wi-Fi and 3G versions when it is released, which might explain why Lenovo is releasing it at a later date. It will also support the same stylus that can be bought to accompany the ThinkPad.
