Lenovo announced the Idea Pad U1 this January, calling it "the industry's first hybrid PC for consumers." The device debuted as a Windows laptop with a detachable touch screen that can be used as a separate tablet PC.
The computer featured an 11.6-inch screen and weighed 3.8 pounds (1.7kgs). It ran on Windows 7, but when detached the device operated on Linux with a reported 16GB of flash memory. Once detached, the tablet can connect to the Internet through a 3G connection.
The retail price of the device was estimated at the time to be US$999. But after the device was announced, Lenovo stalled on its release date.
