After fiddling with the IdeaPad U1’s beautiful touchscreen display, we think this new hybrid device may be one of the coolest devices we’ve seen in a while. The new Lenovo hybrid device is a slate tablet running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM CPU and the Skylight Linux interface when a user removed from its notebook frame, and then if you dock it back into the clamshell it seamlessly switches back to a Windows 7 operating system, running on an Intel Core 2 Duo U4100 processor. The new Lenovo notebook/tablet will ship in June 2010 and is priced at $999.
