Lenovo, which apparently is ‘on a roll’ at introducing its new laptops at the CES, introduced its IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook on January 6, along with announcing the updated versions of its 15.6- inch Ideapads which will henceforth feature the Intel Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 technology.

The newly-introduced IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook features an 11.6-inch HD LED-backlit multitouch screen which is ‘detachable;’ and, as such, helps the device transform itself from a clamshell laptop to a slate tablet.

The 3.8-pound, cherry-red U1 hybrid boasts two operating systems, each having its own processor, which can work separately as well as complement each other. The new notebook runs Microsoft Windows 7 and is powered by an Intel processor, which, though presently unnamed on the spec sheet, is apparently an Intel CULV Core 2 Duo, as per an Engadget speculation.

The other specs of the U1 hybrid, which will hit the markets in June, include - a 1.3-megapixel Webcam; Ethernet 10 and 100; 802.11 a/b/g; Bluetooth; two USB 2.0 ports; and an eSATA/USB combination port.

Calling the U1 hybrid notebook a “game-changing technology” in the PC market, Liu Jun, Senior VP of the Lenovo Idea Product group, said: “By fusing the functionality of a notebook with the slate tablet’s rich multitouch entertainment and mobile Internet experience, U1 provides consumers the freedom to choose the device they prefer for any activity.”
