One of the feature of Think Pat it comes with a stylus for taking notes on the screen which make it stand out. The website does not talk about any bundled apps that can take advantage of the stylus, like those installed on the HTC Flyer. Unlike the Flyer, the stylus is included in the price of the ThinkPad, which might help explain the price.
As other companies are starting to lower their entry-level tablet prices to $400 and below, Lenovo is going the other direction, up to a $479.99 starting price. To be fair, that’s still a drop; when Lenovo first announced the ThinkPad, it said it would be sold for $499.
The ThinkPad is a 10 inch Android 3.1 business tablet, runs on a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core chipset. Additional premium features include a pressure-sensitive pen for writing or drawing, and a Folio keyboard case with Lenovo’s TrackPoint system.

Lenovo is also launching a few accessories alongside of the ThinkPad. You can buy a folio-style case that has a built-in keyboard, which might mean the Asus Transformer might finally have some keyboard competition. Lenovo has been making some of the best laptop keyboards for several years, and if this keyboard can rival those it might be a game changer in the Honeycomb tablet war.
