Would you mind doing some benchmark that's comparable to the benchmark here to see how much it has improved since the BIOS update?

The throttling problem appears to have been cured with BIOS v. 1.8.  I had same problem with the unit as reported in this article, Lenovo service tech's didn't solve it, but the BIOS upgrade really worked.  Fast on video and web now.  I have last year's TP10 and this is now an improvement, not a downgrade.

I love the ultrabook keyboard (although it's heavy) and the new Pen Pro (it cures the parallax/accuracy problem of the older Wacom technology).  I use the TP10 for hours at work with just the flip cover taking client notes with the pen and like it for that.  When I type, though, the ultrabook keyboard is a big win: long key throw, great mechanical feel, great accuracy, and FULL SIZE key spacing; the small size is accomplished with very narrow bezels, smaller function keys, and narrower enter/shift/backspace keys around the periphery. The keyboard weight  seems to be necessary to ballast the tablet's top-heaviness; however, the benefit is that the unit is very lapable, like a notebook, along with the good keyboard. It does better as a true 2-in-1 than a Surface because you can configure it to be a better tablet or a better notebook according to your need.  I wish they'd added more battery to the keyboard instead of simple ballast, however.  But nicely done, overall, if you want to type a lot or use a pen..

On the negative side, the IPS panel looks good except dark images or streaming video, where severe light leakage washes out the blacks in the corners.  The deep blacks and brightness of the previous year's model have been lost in the transition to Gen 2.  Not a big deal most of the time, but some people may care.

I have no connection to Lenovo other than as a customer.

I own this tablet, the heat spot on the right is quite annoying since I have sweaty hands, it makes it worse. SpeedFan reported a peak temp of 92°C on core 1 after only 5 minutes of browsing around in Google Maps via Edge.

After 2 weeks of light use, a small tear has appeared on the fingerprint reader, which is some kind of ultra-thin plastic film with sharp edges that protrudes about half a millimeter from the backside. Fingerprint login no longer works, I presume it's dead.

My unit's backlight / screen has some weird wavy shadows in the lower left corner. It is barely noticeable if you stare at it, but it becomes more evident when scrolling down a white page with brightness at 25 to 50%. Not sure if it's a rare defect or a broader design problem.

At this point, I am hesitating between RMA or returning it entirely. I have 9 days left for the latter option. Third-party leather case arrives in 7 days, will see if that reduces hand sweat without grilling the CPU too much. Will go try a Surface 3 demo unit at a store in the meanwhile.

Model number: 20E3-CTO1WW

I owned the first gen ThinkPad Tablet and it was a terrible device.  The screen had a split line right in the middle and you can see it when in use and soon afterward it started to bleed light on that line and all around the corners. I was unable to use it after that.  I had been a loyal fan for the ThinkPad series and had thought of them as the Mercedes of laptop.  Not anymore.  My current ThinkPad T430s is having problem with both hinges and the screen no longer stays up in use.  I will never buy another Lonovo product.  They no longer innovate, they merely package it with the likes of Samsung, Acer and even HP.  I am glad that Microsoft and ASUS are stepping in.

Not attractive compared to HP 608 due low screen resolution (pixel density).

Hot flushes. The ThinkPad 10 2nd Gen is Lenovo's second attempt to establish a mainstream business tablet. Besides the convenient features of the old model, there are once again big issues in respect of the performance.
