So here's how Windows OEMs are going to compete with Microsoft's Surface tablets.
To coincide with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ThinkPad line of products (which was created by IBM in 1992), Lenovo has announced its Windows 8 tablet, the ThinkPad Tablet 2. Why 2? The first ThinkPad Tablet actually ran Android, the successful PC OEM is switching over to Windows 8 for the follow up. Lenovo has been working on this device for a while, as we were shown an early prototype of it at CES (where we first saw Lenovo's Yoga). That's likely before Lenovo and other OEMs learned of Microsoft's own plans with its Surface tablets, and it's interesting how the Tablet 2 differs from Microsoft's approach.
