Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid to beat Apples iSlate tablet?

This cool device was showcased this week at the CES2010. At first glance, I lik e it. But at closer inspection, I dub it a geeks toy. Who would really want a table to run two different OS depending on whether you use it as a tablet (disconnected), or as a laptop (connected)?

To me, this tool looks like a laptop you can disconnect the screen so you can scribble on it, but to make it useful, I would require full OS operation, using the same OS both when used as a tablet, and when used as a laptop. The way the U1 is made makes no sense to me at all.

It does look cool though, but again the PC manufacturers shows how Apple, with its complete control of both hardware and software, will beat them to it again. And again.

Nice try Lenovo, but not good enough.
