Lenovo reveals 11.6-inch IdeaPad U1 detachable tablet
How so? The 1.7kg system reportedly has a retractable multitouch screen that can unhinge from the main computer body--which houses an ultra-low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor running Windows 7 Home Premium--and work on its own as a slate tablet, thanks to an embedded Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 16GB solid state drive and a Linux environment.
Count them: Two processors and two operating systems.
The device is reported to be available in June for US$999 in the US. Lenovo did say it had more tricks up its sleeve for revealing during CES 2010, so I'll be looking for it to appear in the flesh on the showfloor.

This idea really has much more potential......maybe a high-performance notebook as the base, but a tabletPC as the screen, hybrid docking station style?
Ultracool 2-in-1 comp! Though the curvaceous body gives it a feminine look, i believe it will aid in holding the slate tablet comfortably.
WOW. This is cool. I was reading about Lenovo's new lineup lately and I think these new products are certainly making me sit up and notice.
