Lenovo, the company behind the rock-solid Thinkpad laptop line (one personal favorite of at least one staff member Switched) has revealed (intentionally or not) a boatload of new equipment before CES this week’s festivities. We’ve seen a couple of Thinkpad unusually bright, and the netbook X100e business class, but for now the most interesting is the hybrid IdeaPad U1.

At first sight, it seems too different from the other entries in the alignment of IdeaPad notebooks – has a 11.6 inch screen, Core 2 Duo Culver and 4 GB of RAM for every day life of the battery and enough power for light photo editing in addition to Windows 7 and a 128GB SSD. But when you pop the screen of your home, becomes a multi-touch tablet running Linux in a Snapdragon processor (the same type found in the new Nexus One of Google) and a 16GB SSD storage most essential data.

The hybrid U1 will not be available until June, and will start at $ 999. We will be sure to get some hands-on time with this mashup only time he opens the floor at CES.
