Lenovo ThinkPad 10 Windows 8.1 Bay Trail Tablet
Camera Performance & Software
As previously mentioned, there's a 2-megapixel camera on the front of the ThinkPad 10 and an 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash on the back. Both can record video in 1080p.
There's quite a bit of software that comes pre-installed on the ThinkPad 10. Several of these belong to Lenovo, such as its Solution Center, ThinkVantage System Update, Photo and Video Editors, Tap to Share (QuickCast) and a few others.
Lenovo also bundled in a bunch of third-party apps. They don't clutter the desktop, though they do splash the Start screen. Most of it is trialware, such as 30 days of Norton Internet Security 2014 and Office 365. Had this tablet shipped with the regular version of Windows 8.1, you'd get a year of Office 365 Personal, but since it's Windows 8.1 Pro, Microsoft only allows a free 30-day trial.

Having an office located in Michigan affords us a unique opportunity to test camera performance under a variety of unpredictable weather scenarios. To start with, we snapped a handful of photos just after a rainstorm and under gloomy conditions. This is roughly the equivalent to indoor lighting, provided you don't live in an underground bunker.
By waiting a day, we were able to snap another set of photos with the sun shining down on freshly rained terrain. What we learned is that the built-in camera is certainly able to take serviceable shots for posting to social media sites, though it will take some trial and error (and practice) to consistently shoot better looking photos.
