The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist 12.5" Convertible Ultrabook Computer is yet another hybrid that traverses multiple functions. It's a tablet, an Ultrabook and a presentation device. It's also Windows 8 compatible, which means that the touch functions of this hybrid will be enhanced by a powerful operating system designed for touch computing.
It features a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-3317U dual-core processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive with a 24GB mSATA cache for speedier access to often used programs. That's good enough for any Ultrabook, but for a tablet, it's above and beyond gaming and app needs.
It also features a 12.5" LED backlit IPS touch screen. The IPS touch screen offers better viewing angles and higher contrast for viewing the screen in alternative light situations (bright outdoor light to dim indoor light). The screen features a native 1366 x 768 high definition resolution and runs on the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chipset for higher-end graphic processing. The smudgeless anti-reflective capacitive screen is manufactured with Corning Gorilla Glass for a tougher, cleaner surface and supports 5-point multi-touch
To enhance the multimedia aspects of this Ultrabook hybrid, this unit also includes 8W integrated stereo speakers (2x 2W) using Dolby Home Theater v4 and Realtek ALC3202 codecs. It also includes dual array microphones and a combo audio/microphone jack.
For connectivity, this hybrid has 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 4.0. It also has a variety of i/o ports, including two USB 3.0 ports, two external monitor ports (mini-HDMI and mini-DisplayPort), and a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 terminal.
Added tablet-like extras include a 4-in-1 card reader that supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, and MMC cards, and a HD 720p resolution fixed-focus wide-angle webcam with low light sensitivity and face tracking. It also has a 6-row 83-key spill-resistant keyboard with multimedia Function keys and an UltraNav buttonless touchpad below the keyboard.
The swivel hinge transforms this hybrid from a tablet into an Ultrabook. When using the unit as a multimedia display for presentations, you simply swivel the screen to face your audience. Later, if you want to watch a movie or interact with loved ones online, you swing the screen to face you with the keyboard now acting as a hinged stand (tent mode).
This convertible four-in-one hybrid Ultrabook/tablet/multimedia presenter has enough power to also serve as your primary laptop, but gives you a variety of usage options. How you choose to utilize it is up to you.
- An Awesome Design
- Designed for the future, the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist is a versatile, high performance touch-enabled ultrabook, which can be used as a tablet, laptop or media presenter. Laptop mode makes business easy; word processing, editing videos or complex spreadsheets is a real pleasure using the Industry-leading keyboard, UltraNav navigation and multi-touch screen. A quick change to stand or tent mode and the laptop becomes a media presenter, giving an immersive multimedia experience in the boardroom or coffee shop. Conversion to a tablet makes surfing the internet or gaming on the move simple, easy and fun. The stylish ThinkPad Twist is available in executive-style mocha black, is just 20 millimeters thin and weighs less than 3.5 pounds.
- Powerful Performance
- The ThinkPad Twist is equipped with 3rd generation Intel Core processors for enhanced productivity and fast performance. Compared with traditional tablets this convertible ultrabook offers far larger storage capacity and increased memory. Voice-optimized, digital dual-array microphones with keystroke noise suppression technology provide a clear, premium audio on internet calls. Conference call mode, ambient noise cancellation and echo cancellation are also available as part of the included enhanced experience package. The extra-bright high definition Multi-touch screen with a wide viewing angle takes entertainment to new levels with the accompanying Dolby Home Theater v4 for excellent sound and vision on the move.
- Ultimate in Maintenance
- Worries about system maintenance and reliability are taken care of by Lenovo Solution for Small Business (LSSB) and Lenovo Solution Center (LSC). LSSB addresses key aspects of IT maintenance such as software monitoring, after-hours maintenance, energy saving and security enhancements.

LSC is a purpose-built Lenovo utility to monitor the health of your system and perform preventative maintenance. Through LSC, you can optimize the system easily to ensure high performance for the life of the ultrabook.

Comments about Lenovo ThinkPad Twist 12.5" Convertible Multi-Touch Ultrabook Computer:
It freezes frequently and I can only fix it by going back to the windows page and returning. It some times freaks out and moves the mouse around when I'm using it as a tablet.The auto rotate doesn't always work or will turn itself on. Also, if I move my mouse in a certain way, not intentionally, it becomes full screen so easily. I've only had this computer for a week and I'm already having this many problems.However, it is overall a fast computer, and the majority of the time, the tablet works well. It's also a good computer.The glitches are my only issue; they make me frustrated which takes away from my enjoyment in using this computer.

Comments about Lenovo ThinkPad Twist 12.5" Convertible Multi-Touch Ultrabook Computer:
My wife was infatuated with the commercials for the YOGA, but this ultrabook provides more bang for the buck, plus, when in tablet mode, the keyboard isn't on the bottom. It does everything she wants and was ready to go, right out of the box.
