In the land of tweets and tell-alls, keeping privileged information on the down-low is next to impossible. Oddly enough, pricing and release details for the ThinkPad 2 didn’t require much espionage. At last night’s PepCom event, Lenovo reps told WP Central that the Windows 8-powered slab will be available on October 26th for $799. This price point might be a tad on the high side for some, but it does include the tablet’s optional keyboard. As a refresher, the ThinkPad 2 sports a 10.1-inch IPS display, an Intel Atom processor, NFC, all powered by an alleged 10 hour battery. For the data gluttons out there, AT&T’s LTE is on the menu stateside. Whether or not this pricing and release information holds true, we’ll still have to see what else surfaces before making a final decision this holiday season.
