Lenovo is shit. Never buying another one of their janky machines.
Why?
I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!
Interesting form. I wonder how the two batteries and storage units work together.
Something similar was announced years ago, when hybrids were just kicking off, but Google or Microsoft put a stop to it. Big brand too, like Asus or Acer but I can’t find it without the name.
On the laptop side, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid features an unspecified Core Ultra 7 processor (likely Core Ultra 7 155H), 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, an Intel Arc iGPU and a 1 TB SSD. It comes with a 75 Wh battery and a 100 Watt power adaptor. I/O is pretty limited, with just 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Other features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and a fingerprint reader.
The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid tablet comes with a gorgeous 14-inch 2.8K (2,880 x 1,800) OLED screen, complete with touch function and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. It draws power from a 38 Wh battery.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powers the tablet half of the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, along with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. There's 256 GB of onboard storage with no expansion slots. Wireless connectivity features are identical to the laptop half (Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth 5.2).
Nice
At $1,999, it costs about as much as a high-end tablet and mid-range laptop combined.
Nvm.
Perhaps, could have skipped on the multi Chip architecture and used a powerful snapdragon(gen 2 or gen 3) if not Intel for both. The tablet side is average in comparison to the laptop side, removing it could've reduced the price. The laptop side should be powerful on its own to also power android.
