I bought this tablet for a very specific use: controlling my BlackMagic video switcher using its windows desktop application. Because this tablet runs the full PC version of Windows 8 it very easily accomplished that task far better than other third party tablet apps I tried on the iOS platform. I am very pleased with its performance for that task and the Lenovo is now part of my workflow.
But for other tasks this tablet may or may not be useful. The first issue is that there is a severe lack of ports on the device. In fact it only has a single USB port that is also used to charge the device. A USB device cannot be used at the same time the unit is plugged into the wall for charging. And because it's charging via USB, there are times that software running on the tablet may require more power than the wall plug can provide - meaning that you could drain the battery even if the table is plugged in.
The screen is rather large for a hand held tablet, and unfortunately the 16:9 aspect ratio means the screen is both wide and narrow. It works great for my application but web browsing might prove a little more cumbersome.
Battery life is surprisingly good. Even after an hour of constant use with my video switching application the battery had an 85% charge remaining. The application isn't all that taxing, but I expected far less battery performance out of a tablet running a desktop version of the Windows 8 operating system.
There is a keyboard dock available for the Lynx, but you may want to decide the overall cost of adding that accessory as compared to other tablets that might have more ports and offer more flexibility for keyboards and mice.
Overall this is a good tablet for those who have specific applications that don't require a lot of USB ports.
