When you ditch everything but the screen for the slate-like tablet section, the device is to switch processors and operating systems. Oh, and it&#8217;s gorgeous, too.<\/p>\n<p>When both halves of the U1 are together, it runs on Windows 7 on a Intel Core 2 Duo SU processor, but when you split them up, the tablet will use a custom version of Linux and a Qualcomm ARM Snapdragon processor. This means that you&#8217;d be getting the best combination of power and battery life for each scenario. Other than that neat setup, the U1 brings 4GB of RAM (512MB in slate\/tablet mode), two USB 2.0 ports, eSATA, VGA, HDMI, 4-in-1 memory card reader, and a 1.3-Megapixel camera.<\/p>\n<p>Not too bad for about a thousand bucks. Lenovo will start selling the hybrid in June, but in the meantime I&#8217;ll be left wondering if it is really the best of both worlds wrapped in a pretty package or yet another half-hearted combination device.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> gawkerGallery(5440057,4,''); <\/script><\/p>\n<p> <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=e79ba26007a8b532fe2cc300f1eb6d0a&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=e79ba26007a8b532fe2cc300f1eb6d0a&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2226\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/2WFwRhBhJR2REi3tmxXlxILdJ6s\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/2WFwRhBhJR2REi3tmxXlxILdJ6s\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/2WFwRhBhJR2REi3tmxXlxILdJ6s\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/2WFwRhBhJR2REi3tmxXlxILdJ6s\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=Q_TWuo3DMbY:vVomjgjiGOQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/gizmodo\/full\/~4\/Q_TWuo3DMbY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenovo&#8217;s IdeaPad U1 is quite the clever combination of multi-touch tablet and laptop.
