2 in 1. A laptop and a multitouch slate. 2 screens or functions, whichever you'd prefer. Both are present in the Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid laptop.
When the screen is locked in onto the laptop's chassis, the system runs on Windows 7 Home Premium with a CULV Core 2 Duo Processor. When the screen is separated from the rest of the unit, it functions as a mutitouch slate running on Lenovo's Skylight Linux OS with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It also comes with a 16GB SSD. The only possible downside that consumers are looking at is the transition between Laptop and slate and vice-versa. Whether the interoperability between the 2 operating systems would be as smooth as it can possibly be given that the slate mode runs on Linux (ext file system) which cannot be seen in Windows. You'd probably need a third-party software just to get Windows to recognize it.
With an estimated tag price of $999, we'll soon find out if this Lenovo product will make it big.
