CES has showcased lots of great stuff coming this 2010. One of them is the Lenovo U1 Hybrid Laptop / Slate. Their take on the tablet is totally different from the previous tablets in production. The U1 features a detachable screen as opposed to other manufacturers with rotating screen. Looks like somebody from the RND department is watching Power Rangers a little longer that he should.
The Hybrid laptop features 2 OSes, Windows 7 and Skylight OS. As a laptop you will be able to use it as a normal laptop and use Windows 7. Once detached from the body, the OS switches to Skylight OS, a Lenovo customized OS based on Linux. It would take about 3 seconds for the switch, not bad for switching hardwares as well. As a laptop it will maximize CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) Processor, while the slate will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Chip (similar to Google's Nexus One). Set to be released this April, final specs will be available by then.
The demo Megazord, um I mean laptop comes in a glossy red finish. So its Lenovo U1 Red locked in, gooooo Lenovo! Right!
