Pros

Sturdy design and build quality, handy for notetaking.
Full-sized USB 2,0 port, Optional 3G, Excellent, though optional, keyboard folio case and accurate stylus pen.
Fullsized USB and SD card slot, Good implementation of Tablet Pen, Preloaded apps
Dual capactive and active pen input adds a new dimension to Android Tablets, Accurate digitiser, Fast digitiser ( in most applications ).
The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet has several business-oriented features that should bring a smile to the IT crowd, along with digital pen support and a beautiful screen.
Pen for notetaking, solid build, USB port, excellent optional keyboard folio.
Wide range of ports and expansion options; great-looking display; good mix of business features
Topnotch performance in all areas. USB charging. Outstanding battery life (over 9 hours at full tilt). Preinstalled IT apps make sense for enterprise buyers, but they aren’t packaged here very thoughtfully.
Stylus and keyboard make for great notetaking tools, Ports give the tablet flexibility in a desk/stationary setting, App selection for Android tablets becoming less dismal, Screen has nice color and viewing angles
Digitizer allows pen input, Pleasing display quality.

Cons

Laggy touchscreen interface, overdose of widgets and shortcuts, handwriting function doesn’t expand to other parts of the OS
A bit chunky, Frequent app crashes in our tests, Occasionally unresponsive screen, Subpar battery life.
Bulky
Palm rejection not 100% in all programs, OCR still not 100%, Not many pen support applications, Note that these are functions more of the software than the hardware.
The tablet is relatively thick and heavy, with unnecessary navigation buttons and uninspired Android interface optimizations.
Chunky, would be better without bloatware.
Occasional quirky behavior; hefty; unacceptably long boot time
Major problems with wireless networking. Display seems dim if not viewed deadon. Expensive. Design simply not up to snuff compared to Lenovo’s other products, especially ThinkPad laptops.
Tablet is thick and heavy compared to competitors, Performance is middling, Front buttons are hard to push
USB port awkward for flash drive use, Looks bulky, and feels heavy in hand.

I tested the rear-facing camera on the ThinkPad under the same conditions that I did with the Acer and received about the same results. Simply put, tablet cameras aren't very good; none of them. You'd have similar or better luck with a basic...

Discrete input devices are much more convenient than the touchscreen, especially when a lot of typing is involved (for example e-mail, chatting and word processing). At Rs.44,871 the Lenovo ThinkPad is a little more expensive than the Asus EeePad...
