Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
But the real problem lies with the overall size, bulk, and weight. An 11.6-inch tablet, particularly with a 16:9 aspect ratio, will always be a little awkward to hold and use in landscape mode. Portrait mode is a little more usable, but often won't accommodate documents at their full width.
Nonetheless, despite all these caveats, if you're looking for a pure tablet that offers PC-like performance, the W700 delivers. It's a nice product, but we expect the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro to eclipse the W700 early next year.
The Surface RT is Microsoft's bid for the tablet space currently owned by Apple's with battery such as IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K6620 Battery, IBM 02K7039 Battery, IBM ThinkPad X60 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1167 Battery, IBM ThinkPad Z60t Battery, IBM ThinkPad Z61t Battery, IBM 40Y6793 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1125 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1121 Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T4522 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Battery iPad. Sure, Android tablets may cost a little less and aspire to the same market, but none have been able to come close to the iPad in terms of ease-of-use and user adoption.
While the aspect ratio is more widescreen than Apple's, the 10.6-inch display seems a little more usable than the slightly unbalanced, 11.6-inch displays that dominate the Windows 8 tablet market. Windows RT is fast and responsive on the ARM-based, Nvidia Tegra processor. The Surface's 1366-by-768 resolution doesn't match the beauty of Apple's iPad Retina display, but most users probably won't notice.
In the Surface RT, Microsoft has introduced some clever touches, such as a built-in kickstand and the optional Type Cover, which integrates a flat, tactile-free, but extremely thin keyboard. The company also bundles a reduced version of Microsoft Office, but using those Office apps kicks you into desktop mode, which feels very weird on a device that's really meant to be a pure tablet. On the Surface RT, the Windows Start Screen is the native interface, and seems capable and usable.
I tried the Yoga at Best Buy, loved it, and was set to buy, but it's not available. 3 week minimum wait at Lenovo. So I've decided to wait until the MS Surface Pro comes out and consider buying something then. I loved the Yoga -- would've bought it on the spot. Seems like they underestimated the demand!
I bought the Asus Vivo Tab tf810, which I am probably going to use mostly as a notebook. I considered the Yoga, but thought it was just too big and heavey to use as a tablet. I am pleased with the Vivo Tab.
The Dell Latitude 10 is also missing from the list. I am tempted to get the Dell Latitude 10 because of the battery change out capabilities. What happens to tablet batteries after 2-3 years?

I'd switch from the Yoga if something else comes out with better battery life and disc space -- but the Yoga keyboard and display are both strikingly good.
