  Customer reviews for Lenovo ThinkCentre M55p 8811 - Tower - 1 x Core 2 Duo E6300 / 1.86 GHz 39 of 45 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars One of the better PC tablets, but it's time to change, November 18, 2011 By zemes - See all my reviews This review is from: Lenovo ThinkPad X220 (42962YU) 12.5" LED Tablet PC - Core i7 i7-2620M 2.7GHz 4G DDR3 320G HDD (Windows 7 Professional) (Personal Computers) First of all, the fact that I rank this Windows-based convertible tablet three-star does not mean that I think the other Windows-based convertible tablets are better. Absolutely not. This is the best among the mediocre class. Also, I am a PC person throughout and never even liked Apple products. So before you label me as a PC-hater, please at least give what I have to say some serious thought. The Lenovo X2xx tablet has been a very good series for business purpose. Reliable, fast, businesslike plain appearance, and best-of-the-class keyboard. But this is just not enough in a world that has changed. I almost returned mine after I bought it, from Lenovo direct. The configuration I got is close to $2000 even after discount. SSD, top-of-the-line processor, 8G RAM, 3G/4G cellular network, etc. I kept it in the end. After all that time spent on installing the software and doing configuration, I felt my time was too precious to be wasted. Besides, the prospect of waiting for almost a year for a Windows 8 tablet (which is not guaranteed to be good) is bad enough that I decided to stick to this imperfect but still useful machine. After all, it is usable and powerful, and I am familiar with the Windows ecosystem for work. No other tablet on the market, regardless of how excellent it may be in the user interface, provides an adequate ecosystem for work. Perhaps few things are really wrong with this machine, but so many things are just outdated, and pretty lame. People blame Microsoft for not coming up with Windows 8 quick enough, but the primary reasons that these Windows-based convertible tablets are so bad are actually not Microsoft, but CPU makers and PC manufacturers: (1) The inability of CPU makers (Intel and AMD) to make a tablet-suitable processor which is power efficient to run Windows sufficiently fast under 10W power consumption; and (2) The failure of the PC manufacturers to understand what really is important for consumers. If they are to make a good Windows 8 tablet, they will need to change the following at the minimum. FIRST, POOR BATTERY LIFE The tablet comes with a huge and ugly 6-cell battery. The appearance of this tablet would rank 7/10 without the ugly battery, but with the 6-cell battery, it would go down to 3/10. Just imagine the 9-cell battery that they also brag about. The only battery that is reasonably sized for this type of battery is a 3-cell (and that's what is shown in the photos here), but guess what, the 3-cell battery would not last very long on this power-hungry laptop. Lenovo claims 9 hours of battery life for the 6-cell battery (both Lenovo website and the Lenovo PDF datasheet make the same claim). Unfortunately, this is shamefully inaccurate, in fact outright untrue. When run in a very conservative "energy savor" mode, it lasts about 4 hour 30 min. according to my experience, just about half of what was claimed. I usually don't run any heavyweight programs. No video, no games. Just regular content generation software, document viewing and editing, and Internet. The screen brightness is set to 10/15 (about 65%) when used indoors. This is as conservative as you can get. And I don't see how you can go any more battery-friendly than this other than manually set the CPU maximum speed to a very low level, which defeats the point of having a machine like this.
