It is possible to run Android on Lenovo ThinkPad X220 (officialy running Win7) with Intel i5 chip and single pen input (no dualtouch)?
Probably but some heavly hacking will be needed but did you tried bluestack?
I would like to try bluestack, but for now, this app is not for public :/

Yes you can. Google for android-x86-4.0-RC2-thinkpad.iso (sorry, can't post external links yet). It works great.
I'v tried both Android and Windows 8 on my Lenovo X220 convertable. Android wins easely.

Short answer, no.
Not only would you need all the correct drivers for wifi, bluetooth, touch, etc..., but if you did happen to have those, your processor works on the x86 platform, and android is made to be used on the ARM architecture. Sorry.
^ Not completely correct. There ARE versions of Android that run on x86 architecture; Acer do some netbooks with an Android/Windows dual install as do other PC manufacturers. OP will have to search for them though, and he WILL have driver issues.
Basically, if OP wanted an Android tablet, then OP should have bought an Android tablet.
Thank you for the answer, I just would like to know.

+1 on the option to install android on a windows device. Although it's not common, it has been known to be accomplished, especially on an HTC device for example, as they have done this to 1 or 2 phones.
The big issue, is to find a dev that has managed to do this. And considering you have a "generic", no name tablet, I suspect there would not be a high interest in this. Especially now, when there are several low cost tablets to exploit, and the release of the source for ICS.
Shouldn't knock a person for buying a windows tab. At least it's a tab And... it ain't an Ipad
Heck, my wife yesterday, said she wanted a new ph for her birthday.... A Mozart 7!!!!!!!!
Is it possible to dualboot?
Thanks!

Bit of research into what hardware android runs on and what hardware is in the iconia w700 would have taken 5 minutes and returned a definite yes.
Android on x86 (with exception of clover trail) has always been possible. Thats alright as the core i3 and i5 CPU's available in the w700 are x86 CPU's.
Android is no different from any other OS so dual booting android and windows wont be any different from linux and windows.
Now, to actually run android on normal x86 hardware there are 2 major projects available.
The first is android-x86. http://www.android-x86.org/ It works alright for most systems. Its commonly used on laptops and desktops but works across just about any x86 computer.
The second (and the one I recommend in this case) is Android-IA. Also known as "Android On Intel Architecture". This is a project run by intel themselves to have android running on intel core i3 and i5 systems. https://01.org/android-ia/
I've an Acer Iconia W700 and I've tried android-x86 in "Live Mode" and into a Virtual Machine.
I don't like very muche Virtual Machine mode because it's very slow and because the touch experience is compromised. All touches are in fact replaced with the related movement of mouse arrow and it's very different.
Live Mode is better but it runs slow too.
I would like to have a dualboot with something like THIS or better.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey Guys,
I have a Chinese tablet with the following settings below.
Atom Processor Z3735G or Z3735E
RAM 1 GB
HD 8 GB
Windows 8.1
8 inch screen
As I saw that Samsung has the Ativ Q, where runs Android within the Windows like an app.
Given this I wonder if I can do the same in this Chinese tablet that runs Windows 8.1.
If possible can you give me this?!

Run Bluestacks. No idea on performance with your device, but it works like a champ on my surface pro.
No idea on this bro
Seeing on the Internet what is done with the tablet as teclast x98 I wanted to ask if was possible to have a dual boot with Windows 8.1 on this lenovo ... Has Intel CPU and 2GB of ram and with the integrated projector would be really great that we can use Windows... It's possible?
Nothing?
Upppppppp
I'd love to see this happen.
A friend has the Teclast X98 3G and it's awesome to have a 3 in 1 device (Windows 8.1 / Android and 3G data and voice calling).
Someone needs to make the above happen for our Yoga Pro.
Hi there,
At the risk of repeating a thread.
The Windows 10 on my Thinkpad Tablet 2 is slow. I hate it.
Can someone point me in the right direction to and Adroid ROM that works for this tablet.

I don't own it, but for lenovo there is a painful support. Why don't you install linux??
I think Atom is x86 and x86_64 compatible.
My rule is never buy "Windows products" pure s**t
