ThinkPad Helix: Incredible Engineering
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Research, development and design come together to create a beautiful symphony of engineering. Countless hours of thought went into creating Lenovo ThinkPad Helix, the convertible tablet that provides four distinct working modes in a revolutionary detachable design. Learn more: lnv.gy/lenovo
In last 9 years I only used 2 laptops, the Thinkpad T41p and Thinkpad T400s. The last one is still in service. And both of them never disappointed me. Now I am really glad to see what I want next, and also glad I don't not by a Surface Pro yet. Because who needs that if there is a Thinkpad?
It's fantastic how Lenovo presents high bleeding edge technology with a few simple sentences.
I don't agree that Apple's / Foxconn's mass-produced designer gadgets are on the same level with Lenovo's engineered masterpieces, neither in terms of innovation nor by technology or service standards.
The Helix is now listed in Lenovo's latest Personal Systems Reference document where you can see the specifications of the different models (March 2013 Version 434 as of this writing).
I love this device......exactly what I want tablet/laptop/pc all in one convertible device that has decent battery life!
There is the Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro - which on paper has been available since October last year, but I am still unable to buy it in Eastern Europe at all, let alone for a reasonable price.
And now finally there is also the Surface Pro... but actual availability until now has been dismal, even in USA. No telling when I can get my hands on it in Eastern Europe...
Here's to hoping that Lenovo will be available to my neck of the woods soon... it beats the other contenders in specs easily.
Absolutely amazing... I hope and and wish you there is no HW related technical problem behind the delay... Your web states "spring 2013", so I keep my fingers crossed this spring will be very short :+).
I am completely torn between this and the Lenovo Yoga for my next laptop. I will wait for the Haswell versions, but I really hope you guys put the X1 Carbon's keyboard and trackpad in the next Yoga! They are fantastic.
I think I understood your comment but don't see why having the trackpoint buttons built in to the touchpad be a problem because if you don't use the touchpad you can disable it. And i'm positive that Lenovo didn't do it randomly and without thinking therefore its probably just as comfy if not more.
Just a quick question: Did you guys remove the dual rear camera on the released version? On many pictures and including this video the prototype helix looks like it has 2 rear cameras, but on the released version there is only one
Wow, just wow....
Super cool!
So I'm guessing, you named the fans "owl wing blades" because they spin silently like how owl fly silently with their fringed wing feathers? At any rate, I can't wait to see a live demo of this when (not if!) it arrives in the Philippines.
apparently this will be out by the last week of April...! I've been waiting since last year, 3 more weeks of waiting is nothing now. Just hoping that it will really come out in April and no change on the release date again!!
What is the graphics card on it? All and all it seems pretty amazing and while I do want one, I would like to know more about the system, possible customization ect. This seems like a very amazing device and I must say I am very impressed.
It's just me or they reduce the keyboard width from last video to this one? They remove the hdd and ports?
Please please tell us what is the color gamut of the Helix display? For years digital artists, designers and photographers like me have been waiting for a good light weight Lenovo machine that has at least full sRGB gamut ... and a tablet mode that can actually be used for creating digital art. We are so tired of waiting and spending time with our macs ...
When is this going to be released in Aust? I like the smaller screen size.. fantastic..excellent choice in the i7 cu.. and the 8gig ram.. the only thing missing which i dont really ind that much, is a 2nd hard disk in the keyboard.. but cant wait to get my hands on one.. Lenovo.. whens the aust release date??
Does the Helix support a dig pen to use with graphics programs like autosketch?
How many programmable buttons does it have on the bezel? Does it have trackpoint/trackpad on the bezel (see MSI windpad 110w etc)? These can be great for use in pure tablet mode.
Will it have an option for the new specially binned 7W IVB CPUs Intel announced? What effect do they have on the battery life in your testing?
Does the tablet also charge from the keyboard-batteries?
will this have an intel haswell chip platform and if not when will it start shipping with haswell?
wow ,,amazing :o
well this laptop too gets in all positions as yoga does
really cool !!!
Hey i was wondering what kind of graphics this will be able to support =P
I have been checking for thinkpad helix news every day....and nothing since Feb 4th/6th.. seriously, any updates?
In my opinion this is the most innovative Tablet of the year 2013.
What you might do a little bit better are the hinges and the tablet connection on the dock.
They could have been made out of metal. But this is the only thing i have to say about a device i was waiting for years since i had the idea to buy such a thing.
Keep on improving it to revolutionize the industry
I agree
When Intel Haswell is out will this device then use it?
And they all fail on a proper color gamut that a photographer or artist needs on an ultraportable (at least full sRGB is needed to get something professional done without help of an external monitor). Even MBP went full sRGB only now when retina arrived. I don't go around complaining in internet for no reason - I have searched for a long time with no vail. I really hope Lenovo will consider designers and artists more in the future as their potential customers of their business series.
Love it
wow i like it
As far as my research goes, it's more like 66% of sRGB and 43% AdobeRGB. Could you cite your source? My information is from Googling and Tomshardware review.
Who is the presenter of this video?
Is it still worth to buy helix 2 in 2021?
Lenovo, what is the pricing on this?
Muy buena idea...Pero creo que (humildemente) es deficiente su manejo de la temperatura.
core i7 on a tablet ... is awesome !!!
Why windows 8 tell me why ? ...will go to install Win 7?
why? you know you can quikly disable the trackpad with Fn + F8.
You must have misread. The trackpoint buttons are INTEGRATED with the touchpad. That's close to blasphemy.
is the 4gb ram version upgradable to 8gb?
Is the wait because you want it to go on Intel's latest Processors, the Haswell Processors? If so I would be willing to wait, that's big!
Well, when I say PC, I mean any desktop, laptop, netbook or whatever flavor of hardware designed to run non-linux full-size Operating Systems (Like Windows or OSX).
Does Gavin answer all of these comments on RUclips?! :D
I wish they had a hard drive option
Looks like dad of surface book
Well, show me one PC manufactured in the last 10 years that Linux can't run on :) I'd be impressed if you do!
Oh wait, OSX is just another Linux Distro (kinda, since it is based on Unix)... my bad! :P
@LenovoVision Linux on it, please...
What's the holdup? You guys are like 2.5 months late now...
I'll stick with my X1 Carbon.
Ditto.
No there aren't. There was not even a single one with all the features at once. People that wanted an active digitizer, decent CPU/GPU, detachable tablet form-factor with keyboard dock, FullHD resolution, etc just never had a real option.
It's cool. but expensive, i heard it starts from $1499
That is unreal.......... Nice job Lenovo....... (Microsoft please hire their marketing team for your next surface add.... If I have to see one more catholic school girl dancing on a bench or hipster bouncing on one arm on a conference table I'm going to lose it....)
Linux runs on anything :)
The need to use a processor this powerful on a portable device running essentially a desktop and browser illustrates the poor design of the software.
Windows 7 on a 11 inch Tablet?
Makes no sense.
While this may be a good idea, Lenovo is taking everything the thinkpad is and throwing it out the window. The trackpoint buttons integrated with the touchpad? Disgusting.
I wonder if they used a mac to create this content
Getting better. Sounds a lot like an apple ad. I'll stick with Apple for now maybe next year.
an expensive piece of equipment made redundant by a simple Windows 10 update! Lenovo and their support are pathetically useless!
Don't make ANYMORE videos! 666! :P
