All about the Universe.....
Call it a two-for-one deal. Lenovo’s sporty IdeaPad U1 hybrid acts as a 1.6-inch, Linux-powered tablet PC (touchscreen-sporting unit you can scribble on like a notepad) on its own. But plug the slate into a docking base, and it also becomes a fully functional 3.7lb notebook with multi-touch capabilities that boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Expected to sell for $999 on June 1 and packing an attractive 11.6-inch display, the device functions well in either mode, offering five hours of battery life, plus email and web surfing capabilities to go. As such, it should appeal to mobile professionals looking for a more versatile computing solution.
Trend: Speaks to both the rise of tablet PCs (see: Apple’s iPad, although a lack of multitasking, Flash support and hardware expandability leave us dubious about its potential as a business device) and slim, portable and powerful notebooks that continue to fall in price. Expect both to be major trends in 2010, courtesy of continued offerings from vendors ranging from Dell to HP and Toshiba.
