FIRST HYBRID NOTEBOOK/TABLET: THE LENOVO IDEAPAD U1

Is it a slate tablet or a thin and light notebook? It’s both. The new Lenovo IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook offers has a removable multi-touch screen with a separate ARM processor that runs on Lenovo’s customized Skylight operating system. But when connected to its traditional clamshell form, you’ll have a full PC with an 11.6-inch HD LED screen running on Microsoft Windows 7. This high-tech hybrid notebook will be available by June, according to the China-based computer giant.
