"LAS VEGAS \u2014 Windows 8 hybrids that convert between laptops and tablets are often an exercise in compromise: Trade some processing power for battery life, or screen size for features. With the ThinkPad Helix, Lenovo aims to make business users compromise as little as possible, creating a compact, full-featured PC that ditches its keyboard when you need to get your tablet on.\nThe Helix has an 11.6-inch full HD screen (1,920 x 1,080), and it packs an Intel Core processor (i3, i5 or i7) instead of a mobile chip. You can configure it with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of solid-state storage. \nDespite running a Core processor, the Helix is still rated for 10 hours of battery life even though the tablet weighs just 1.8 pounds (that's because the keyboard has some juice, too). Lenovo also claims it's the thinnest (0.8 inch) Windows 8 tablet powered by Intel Core. When attached to the keyboard, the whole thing weighs 3.7 pounds. It also comes with digitizer pen when you need extra precision in your work.\nExtra bonus: The Helix's docking port is reversible, meaning you can flip the tablet around 180 degrees so it faces out from the keyboard dock \u2014 useful for presentations or when you're in a cramped airplane seat. It has two USB 3.0 ports and a mini-HDMI port.\nThe Helix also includes NFC wireless tech for quick pairing with your phone or other NFC-equipped devices. LTE connectivity is optional.\nComing in late February, the ThinkPad Helix will start at $1,499.\nHow do you like the new Helix?
