The Lenovo X201t is more than meets the eye: it transforms from a tablet into a laptop, similar to the Eee PC T91 -- but with a lot more going on under the bonnet.
The 12.1-inch,1,280x800-pixel display rotates and folds down over the keyboard. You can then write with a stylus, tap the capacitive touchscreen or type on screen. It runs an Intel Core i7 processor, with up to 8GB of RAM. Memory options include a maximum of 320GB hard-drive space, or up to 128GB of solid-state storage. All well and good, but admit it: you're going to spend most of your time watching 80s cartoons on YouTube. We've gussied up the boring, blank-screened PR shot with a mock-up of what it'll look like when you watch Transformers on it.
The X201t sports three USB ports, with VGA video but no HDMI. It packs an eight-cell battery. One of the cleverest features is a fingerprint reader that will automatically boot the machine and log you in when you swipe a digit. It also offers a small trackpad.
The X201t is being shown off at CeBIT, where a US release date of March and price of $1,549 -- a couple of quid north of £1,000 -- has been confirmed. We'll bring you more when we have it. Right, back to YouTube.
