IdeaPad K1 slate unboxed!

[lead_org Microsoft MVP Contributor]

we have a box here.... i see Lenovo did put lot of efforts in designing the packaging for the system. And i dare say that Lenovo did took some lessons from Apple on how to package everything in the box, and how manual must be correctly oriented in relation to the user when the box is opened (which they learnt from the Japanese market). 

I like the red colour....

Also, it seems the K1 tablet is designed to be used in the keyboard docking station from the positioning of the integrated camera.

Actually, 

I got to see one in the lab with all the packaging yesterday.   Personally,  I've never paid that much attention to packaging as I'm more interested in getting to the product and for me, the packaging only needs to do a good job of keeping the product protected until it is safely in my hands.

However, I think we did a good job of designing some thematic packaging that is color keyed and includes prominent numbered identification to help first time users go through things step by step.   I think it makes a difference in out of the box presentation and am glad to see we put thought into it.

For those that purchased a K1, what did you think when you unboxed it?   What did you like?  What would you change?

>> For those that purchased a K1, what did you think when you unboxed it? What did you like? What would you change? Very well protected in the packaging. The first think i noticed when I removed it from the box was that the back flexed and made a clicking sound. I would like it more with rigid plastic on the back. On the positive side the display is very sharp. Text looks great! Jerry

Sorry about that lasr reply getting all munged in with your question. I'm using the K1 to post and apparently the carriage returns I used to separate my response from your question were not recognized.

jwr,

No worries!  Extra points for using your K1 on the forum. 

How is that experience?
