The Lenovo Thinkpad Helix is the ultimate accompaniment for business trips. A hybrid of a laptop and a Windows tablet, it combines the performance of a business ultrabook with the mobility of a handheld.
Tough and functional, these laptops are built for business. The ‘rip and flip’ design means not only is it an ultra-thin laptop but it detaches to become a fully-fledged Windows 8 tablet; truly perfect for the modern business person.
The range starts at a hefty £1399 but the specifications and design prove its worthiness as a high-end ultra-portable laptop. The flexible design means it can fold into different shapes enabling different modes – laptop, tablet, stand and tablet+. Work at a desk in laptop mode, get mobile in tablet mode, and share data and presentations by placing Helix in stand mode—simply dock it backwards on the enhanced keyboard. Fold it down onto the base for Tablet+ mode and get more power, ports, and battery life than a standard tablet.
With an 11.6 inch full HD resolution screen, you get a vivid and vibrant display, while the ten-finger multi-touch technology allows for a more precise control. You also get a digitizer and pen seamlessly converting your handwriting into digital text.
The Helix comes with dual cameras, a front facing webcam for those all-important video conference calls, and a rear facing camera with LED flash for still shots and video recording.
As a junior broker, you need to be online wherever you are. Luckily, with the Helix, you get embedded 3G or 4G support, NFC, Bluetooth and WiFi as well as Lenovo Mobile Access; a pay-as-you-go 3G service.
This is proving to be a great choice as a business laptop, and with its advanced security features, a full-sized, spill-resistant keyboard, a 10 hour battery life and three USB ports, this laptop has everything you need to make your working life a little smoother.
The ThinkPad Helix deserves kudos for its innovative design, and if you’re a business user in search of a laptop-tablet convertible with good specifications and high-performance, the high price tag is completely worth it.
