HotHardware have published a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 tablet. 'The back of the K1 unit that we received wasn't the glossy, colored version that you may have seen. Instead we got a flat black rubberized surface on our K1, which made it completely resistant to fingerprints back there, as well as "zero skid" on a desk or coffee table. We're actually quite fond of the backing on this slate, and the dual stereo speakers residing on the back bezel, feel (and sound) relatively well placed as well. If you're considering a K1, we'd suggest going with this finish as it will wear far better than the glossy painted surfaces that are available on other models. We should note that the backing of the K1 is not removable like Toshiba's Thrive and its battery is not user serviceable.'
Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 tablet. 'At 10.4 x 7.44 x .52 inches and 1.6 pounds, the IdeaPad K1 is quite a bit larger and heavier than rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (9.7 x 6.7 x 0.34 inches, 1.2 pounds) and the iPad 2 (9.5 x 7.3 x 0.3 inches, 1.3 pounds). However, the 10.75 x 6.7 x 0.6-inch Toshiba Thrive felt a lot bulkier in our hands despite weighing the same amount. The tapered edges on the K1 help. With its matte, chrome-colored side and back trim and deep red back panel, the IdeaPad K1 is one of the most attractive tablets we've ever seen. The back panel also comes in white and dark gray, but we strongly recommend the snazzy red shade of our review unit. Unfortunately, there's nothing particularly unique about the glossy front panel and the large surrounding bezel.'
