The ThinkPad 8 seeks to show the true portability and power of a PC in a 8.3” tablet. Careful consideration was given to the ThinkPad 8 so it can be used comfortably with one hand. A soft rubber band on the outer edge of the tablet provides a pleasing tactile grip while also providing protection if the device were dropped.
