This tablet is designed to be a frontline workforce, offering a durable and rugged design, a long battery life, and a variety of ports.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
This is the Lenovo ThinkTab X11 and there is a whole lot of reasons why a tablet in the ThinkPad or ThinkPad ThinkTab series makes a lot of sense."
"Now the ThinkPads are mainly known for being durable and a tablet, well that needs in some instances to be durable because we give them to our children, we have them in small, like when we travel in our backpacks, we use them very actively like we do a smartphone meaning that they could easily fall when we hold them in our hands."
"They are much more mobile even than laptops are which are normally in a bag or anchored to a surface, whereas tablets you hold.
But the thing is, even though this technically is a product that you can go buy, it is very B2B oriented and by that I mean marketed at businesses to have this, for instance, at buying kiosks."
"So let's go over what this is.
When you turn this product here, there is no immediate sense that this isn't directly marketed for a consumer.
But there are a few hints here and I noticed this when I first took a look at the box itself, before I took a look at the actual product."
"NFC front tagging, why would there need to be an NFC tab at the front of a tablet like this?
Well that is for people to pay.
Why would there need to be removable battery for a batteryless mode?
Well the reason you wouldn't have a battery is because this would be hard mounted to a place where it could get power."
"That could be as a second screen or for a store using this to expedite, for instance.
And that's the kind of thing, right?
I mean, sure, you could pick this up and you could use it.
It has a 10.95 display, it's an IPS display that runs around 600 nits, not very impressive at all from a consumer standpoint, but at 2.5K, it has a decent resolution."
"It has a Snapdragon 7S with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage, not bad.
The 10,200mAh battery is good, but more importantly, it has the MIL-STD-810 certification, which is a military-grade protection rate, meaning that it can take bumps and scrapes, high temperatures, where it can continue to operate with no problems, and it also has IP68 water and dust resistance."
"Now, all of this durability is very ThinkPad, ThinkTab, and that'll be good for a child that buys this or a person that needs a tablet he or she can rely on.
But it's just, it's very, to me, oriented at this very specific use case, meaning that most of you out there that isn't about to either swap out your in-store equipment for something like this or about to start a store for the first time, is this probably won't be relevant."
"But what I will say is that it's nice to have, like, I like the idea of a ThinkPad tablet.
I just wish that they had taken all of the durability and the ruggedness and this design language and put it in a more consumer-oriented model, and then I think they could even rival the iPads."
