Received my tablet yesterday (12/27/12) and have been using it frequently since.
Up to this point Ive primarily been an iPad tablet user but I also own and use an Asus Nexus 7.
While the tablet 2 has a relatively slow processor in comparison to desktop and laptop counterparts it truly excels running business applications.
Ive installed office 2013 ProPlus, a few apps from the Microsoft store and will be testing out as many as i can over the next few days. So far Ive only noticed slow down during heavy drive usage (installing apps in background), its very responsive and is very quick loading Outlook.
Build quality is excellent with a very nice subtle textured back that adds a good feeling of grip.
Overall it is almost the perfect blend of tablet size and laptop computing for me. If you love the idea of a tablet but require full blown applications this may be the way to go. Very soon I will be replacing my laptop for everyday use with this.

This is a good tablet, but be careful to pay attention to model numbers. The one that ends in 23U does not come with a pen. According to Lenovo techs if the tablet does not come with a pen you can not order one to go with it later. (I tried.) This is because in order for the pen to work digitizer chips must be installed in the tablet. If it did not ship with the pen, then the chips are not installed either.
Also make sure to check out your WiFi too. There are lots of post on the Lenovo forums sites about issues with the WiFi. The good news is that Lenovo is really good about taking care of this issue. After making sure that it was not a driver issue they quickly sent me a box to ship the tablet directly to them to get the WiFi replaced.
I have had great customer service from both Lenovo and Amazon about this tablet. They have both made sure that we were happy with the tablet. Ultimately Amazon allowed us to return the tablet (within the 30 days of course) due to the misunderstanding about the pen.
We had a good experience from both companies. I wanted to write this review to help answer some questions I had to really dig to find. Just make sure you are sure you are ordering the options you think you are. It is still a good tablet.

I ordered this tablet directly from Lenovo (via my university) back in late November and received it late last week. I have only used it for a few days but am taking it with me on a field trip starting 7 January, so will have a more detailed report when I return. By way of comparison, I have owned or used multiple tablets, including the iPad and iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Asus Transformer, and Galaxy Note 10.1. My main use is for wildlife biology research in the field and for teaching in a university classroom setting.
At any rate, here are my first impressions:
1) Build Quality and Aesthetics: Very good to excellent. The tablet is lighter and thinner than I expected and has a good balance. The back has a "grippy" surface which makes me more confident in using it without a case (although I have since found one from another tablet that works).
2) Screen: I am more than satisfied with the screen. Coming from other "low resolution" devices, I am not troubled by the resolution (1366x768). I found reading via the Kindle app and web browsing at least as good as the iPad 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1, both of which have similar resolutions. If you are using a HD iPad or Asus Infinity, the screen may be an issue, but that is a personal choice.
3) Peripherals: Unlike one of the reviewers above, the peripherals I have installed so far have worked fine, including a USB mouse and Bluetooth keyboard. I will try an external HDD drive while I am away and report back on that.
4) Pen: I have to say that the digitizer pen is a great addition to the tablet experience, especially when using MS Office. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the version of MS Office I am using (Professional 2010) has a highly useful "pen/ink" option enabled when you have the pen available. It makes using Word and Excel MUCH easier (e.g., increasing cell widths is much easier with the pen than with a finger), and I am especially excited that I can easily annotate Office files using the pen, something I want to try while teaching.
5) Processing and Wireless Speed: I was a bit concerned with the speed of the Atom processor used in the ThinkPad, but have not experienced any issues so far in typing, opening programs, etc. More on this later this week.
6) Windows 8 Usability: Using Windows 8 has been an interesting experience. As others have stated, the schizophrenic nature of Windows 8 (split between the new "Start Screen" interface and the classic Desktop mode can definitely be an issue, especially when downloading programs such as Dropbox, Firefox, etc, which have to be downloaded via the Desktop mode. On the other hand, I have found no problem adjusting to the basic "Start Screen" interface, and am now comfortable with moving tiles around, adjusting tile sizes, etc.
7) Using Office: One of the largest draws for me is the ability to use Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc, and not have to use one of the Android or iOS alternates. I have to say that seeing these programs on a tablet-sized device is pretty cool. So far, I have used these programs mainly in combination with the pen, mouse, and a keyboard, using the tablet as mini Ultrabook. I'll be able to report more on how well Office works on the tablet after I have it on the road with me this week
