The story of this device
The ThinkPad Helix debuted Lenovo's ingenious 'Rip and Flip' reversible docking mechanism, allowing its 11.6-inch Full HD tablet to face either toward or away from the keyboard base. Equipped with a siloed Wacom digitizer pen and dual-battery architecture, it blended tablet agility with enterprise power.
