Lenovo Thinkpad Helix to finally go on sale in April

Although it was announced and unveiled back in January, Lenovo has now revealed on its Twitter account that the Thinkpad Helix Ultrabook/Tablet hybrid will finally go on sale in the USA as of next month with a starting price of US $1,499. Hopefully, Europe will also get it in April as some SKUs are already listed with a lowest price set at €1580,90.



In case you missed it back in January, Lenovo's Thinkpad Helix is an 11.6-inch Ultrabook/Tablet hybrid that can be used, obviously as either an Ultrabook or tablet but also has an ability to have its screen flipped by 180 degrees essentially transforming it into a slate/tablet like device.


The specifications list includes 11.6-inch 1920x1080 IPS touchscreen, up to Intel Core i7 CPU, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and up to 256GB of SSD storage space. The rest of the specifications include a 5-megapixel rear and 2-megapixl front cameras, NFC, LTE and WiFi for connectivity, mini DisplayPort and mini HDMI outputs and a few USB ports. According to Lenovo, the battery should last for up to 5 hours in tablet and up to 10 hours in Ultrabook mode.


It is obvious that Lenovo Thinkpad Helix is a premium device reserved for those with deeper pockets. In the USA, the starting price is set at US $1,499 while in Europe, the cheapest model is currently listed at €1580,90.
