The Ultimate Lenovo Netbook of the year 2010 – Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid! We heard hybrid car that can drive on the road and sea, but this is the first time we hear Hybrid Netbook.

This netbook has 11.6-inch multitouch screen. It comes with Intel Core2Duo processor and 16GB SSD to run Windows 7 Home Premium and Lenovo’s customized Skylight Linux interface. Two OS in one hardware, that’s why we call it hybrid.

The coolest part is only when you pull the screen from its shell, it will then morph to the customized Linux OS with multitouch keyboard work like tablet. By the way, we can’t see it act in real until June this year!

Price at ~ $999 USD.
