Chinese computer colossus Lenovo on Tuesday unveiled an IdeaPad computer that serves as a laptop for work tasks then converts to a touch-screen tablet for play time.
The IdeaPad U1 hybrid, with a 'LePad' slate that serves as a laptop screen but unplugs to become a tablet computer, made its debut on the cusp of the Thursday opening of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
'It is one device to balance life and work,' Lenovo product manager Leo Li told AFP.
'A keyboard is more important and Windows software more powerful for a lot of things you need to work, especially productivity and creating content,' he continued. 'At the same time, people want to enjoy music, see videos, go to websites, read e-books, and play games in their personal lives.'
The LePad tablet is powered by Android software backed by California Internet giant Google and a Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm.
Once plugged into the keyboard base, the computer switches to Windows 7 operating software by Microsoft and a beefier Intel processor. Lenovo is targeting consumers who embrace today's mobile lifestyle.
