Next, we'll take a look at how the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet compares to other tablets by running and examining a few benchmarks that are currently available in the Android Marketplace.

In the Linpack test, the ThinkPad tablet outscores all of the other tablets in our reference bank. An3DBench and An3DBenchXL weren't quite as nice to the ThinkPad tablet as some of the other benchmarks, but Lenovo's tablet still produced very respectable results that were competitive with many of the other tablets in our reference database.

In the BenchmarkPi test, the ThinkPad tablet came in third behind the Motorola Xoom and the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. The ThinkPad tablet also scored very well in the SunSpider benchmark, coming in behind the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the Acer Iconia Tab.

Generally speaking, the ThinkPad tablet achieved scores that were in the upper third of all results. In our real world testing, we felt that the ThinkPad tablet was plenty responsive.
