Since tablets aren't exactly ideal for productivity, Lenovo plans to sell the LePad as part of a more complete (and more expensive) package with the IdeaPad U1 base that start at $1,300. While that may seem pricey for a dock, the U1 is basically an entirely separate machine that offers quick access to a Windows environment and a hardware keyboard. Features include a 1.2GHz Intel Core i5-540UM processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, 320GB of storage, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

Ughh for $1300 might as well just buy a Laptop

It is, in the whole scheme of things. The "dock" is essentially a laptop that uses the LePad as it's display.
-
Why make it so expensive if they know it won't sell? People might as well buy a MacBook Pro or any other Net/Notebook for that matter...
-
This should be a big hit in the business market (a laptop with a removable tablet for meetings and travel) but consumers would be better off buying a normal laptop.
-
Based on the offering and what's available in the market, it's a poor packaging. Lenovo needs to re-think on their strategy and consider giving the option for the consumer to choose whether they want to buy the tablet or tablet + docking.

I can't wait to get one! Having a laptop that I can use in my hotel room and a tablet to use in meetings is just what I need. What is hard to understand about a niche market?
