The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist joins the little number of convertible Windows 8 tablets to hit the business sector after the dispatch of that new working framework toward the end of October 2012. The Twist resembles a standard ThinkPad or ThinkPad Edge smaller framework until you open it up and experiment with the inside swivel pivot that permits you to utilize the Ultrabook like a tablet, as a tablet or in presentation mode. The 12.5", 350 nit splendor IPS showcase is sharp and beautiful. Exceeding all expectations even further, it has 5 purposes of capacitive multi-touch, however there's no advanced pen choice as with the ThinkPad X230t.
Lenovo ThinkPad Twist
The ThinkPad Twist is a moderately reasonable machine that at first would be a part of Lenovo's moderate Edge line, yet the organization made another class for the Twist. Like Edge machines, it has that ThinkPad look and Raven dark delicate touch complete, yet the chrome complements and incidental shine that are obvious Edge touches. Lenovo calls this 3.5 lb. machine a Ultrabook, and however its a bit substantial for that assignment, it has all the key components: third era Intel Core i3/i5/i7 ULV CPUs, Intel HD 4000 design, 4 or 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM and your decision of a turning hard commute with a little storing SSD or an entire 128 gig SSD drive.
Console and Trackpad: ThinkPad Goodness
As you'd anticipate from a ThinkPad, the Twist is a strong and downplayed tablet with a radiant console and great Synaptics trackpad in addition to Trackpoint. Oh, the console isn't illuminated, however that is our just doubt. The console, as you'd anticipate from a ThinkPad, is extraordinary with great key travel and material criticism. The keys are open and the "grin" bend makes them agreeable and particular from one another.

Outline and Ergonomics
The manufacture is strong and the unidirectional conventional focus swivel pivot that has been utilized on Windows Tablet PCs for 10 years is solid. There is a tad bit of wobble when you jab at the screen with a finger, and so far slider outlines do the best occupation of battling wobble.
Underneath the delicate touch dark complete a metal packaging keeps the tablet safe from infrequent knocks and bangs. Similarly as with all ThinkPads, we anticipate that this one will endure more ill-use than the normal plastic journal. There's no suspension flex and it feels like and is a well made PC. The outside and console deck are matte yet the presentation encompass is a shine dark plastic that ruins the look a bit. Be that as it may, this is an Edge framework, and that implies periodic sparkle and chrome bits that are garish and diverting from the general stately plan.

The tablet's energy catch is on the right edge of the presentation, just like the pivot lock catch. There are volume controls on the Fn line of the console and just beneath the presentation so you can get to them in tablet mode.
DISPLAY
Not at all like the 1600 x 900 Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, the Twist's presentation is the more basic 1366 x 768 determination. It looks sufficiently sharp, however its clearly not as well sharpened sharp as full HD presentations like that of the Sony Vaio Duo 11 and Dell XPS 12 convertible Windows 8 Ultrabook-tablets. Still, this is a fantastic IPS show with wide review edges and great hues, and its ensured with Gorilla Glass. The presentation is shiny and it has the standard glare you'd anticipate from a Gorilla Glass shine show. The 350 nit presentation has great shine and it underpins 5 purposes of capacitive multi-touch however there is no advanced pen alternative (you can utilize a capacitive stylus, which is less exact).
Ports
The ThinkPad Twist has two USB 3.0 ports (one on every side), a smaller than usual HDMI port (we'd really lean toward miniaturized scale HDMI or full size subsequent to those are both all the more usually utilized), a small DisplayPort (ideal for driving higher than 1080p screens), a 3.5mm combo sound jack, a SD card opening and an Ethernet jack. It has the conventional barrel charging connector as opposed to Lenovo's new minimized rectangular port utilized on some of their skinnier frameworks. There is at present no unique mark scanner with TPM choice, however the tablet has a 3G SIM card space (in the US we presently can't arrange it with a 3G module on the other hand).
Execution and Horsepower
Our audit unit delivered with the standard 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-3317U ULV Ivy Bridge CPU with Turbo Boost to 2.6GHz, 4 gigs of RAM and a 128 gig SSD. The arrangement sold at Staples stores for $899 has the same internals with the exception of the drive, which is a 500 gig HDD SATA drive with a 24 gig mSATA SSD reserving commute to accelerate boot and dispatch times. In case you're a self-upgrader, you can update the drive yourself at a later date by obtaining a SATA 2.5" SSD drive.
On the off chance that you arrange from Lenovo's site, you can run with a SSD drive and there's a 1.9GHz double center Intel Core i7-3517U choice with Turbo Boost to 3GHz. RAM is obviously fastened to the motherboard and you can just get 8 gigs in the event that you pick the Core i7 CPU. All Twist models ship with Intel HD 4000 incorporated representation, and that is a skilled GPU that can handle moderate gaming, however we wouldn't call a Ultrabook with coordinated illustrations a gamer's machine. It can handle World of Warcraft and Left4Dead 2 at local determination at superior to anything 30 fps. The Twist can handle 1080p playback effortlessly and efficiency applications like MS Office, web searching, email and long range interpersonal communication and in addition Adobe Photoshop and other all the more demanding applications. While it does not have the immaculate computational velocity of the ThinkPad X230t with full versatile Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs, it offers enough power for the normal client and then some (the same is valid for most Ultrabooks).
The ThinkPad Twist versus the Lenovo ThinkPad X230t
What's the contrast between the ThinkPad Twist and the Lenovo ThinkPad x230t? The Twist is roughly $300 less, and it keeps running on slower ULV CPUs as opposed to the full portable CPUs utilized as a part of the X230t. The X230t is accessible with either touch or an advanced pen (however not both) and has a matte showcase versus the reflexive Gorilla Glass-clad Twist.
Battery Life
Similar to the standard for Ultrabooks, the ThinkPad Twist's Lithium Ion Polymer battery is fixed inside. The 42.4Whr battery is sufficiently plentiful, yet as with different Windows 8 touchscreen convertibles and Ultrabooks, runtimes aren't frightfully noteworthy. Our machine gets a help from the force cheap 128 gig SSD drive, and we've found the middle value of 4.5 hours on an accuse of brilliance set to 50%, WiFi on and Bluetooth off. Our test incorporates a blend of profitability work with MS Office, email set to check at 15 moment interims, web scanning, long range interpersonal communication and 30 minutes of gushing HD feature playback. Clients with the standard issue 500 gig HDD have reported 3.5-4 hour runtimes.
