The presentation is quite detailed, describing a Honeycomb-based tablet with a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 IPS capacitive multitouch screen (plus an optional stylus), an Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU and up to 64 GB of storage. The tablet will also have two cameras (front and rear), a SD memory card reader, a USB 2.0 port and a mini-HDMI port.

This sounds very much like every other Android 3 tablet on the market, but Lenovo's upcoming tablet has one interesting distinction: a keyboard dock that turns the tablet into a full-fledged laptop computer. The tablet will likely be released in July for $499.

While the leaked presentation does seem convincing, some of the details don't add up. For example, some slides are dated 2009, when many of the items mentioned in the presentation (Honeycomb itself, for example) weren't around.

Still, it wouldn't surprise us if Lenovo used its ThinkPad brand to delve into tablet territory, so we'll call this rumor a believable one. Check out some of the slides below and the entire presentation here.
