Launched earlier in June, the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix is a hybrid ultrabook and full HD Windows 8 tablet.

The Helix is a hybrid ultrabook that converts into a tablet via its “rip and flip” design. It functions first as an ultrabook, “rip” it away from its keyboard dock and you now have a fully functional Windows 8 tablet with 11.6-inch display.

“Flip” the tablet 180-degrees and dock it back into Stand Mode to turn it into a mini-movie theater or business presentation central.

The name Helix probably comes from the idea that you can detach the LED display from the keyboard dock, twist it around 180 degrees and plug it back again to set a tablet form.

The form factor obviously comes from the “transformer” idea but extends that so you’re able to use it both as a separate tablet or with an extended battery dock.

The ThinkPad Helix comes with NFC (first time we’ve heard in an ultrabook) and optional LTE connectivity.
