One of the coolest pieces of tech that I saw at CES was also one of the most understated. Sitting quietly on the shelf at the Lenovo lounge is the ultra cool U1. The Lenovo U1 is part netbook and part tablet. What makes the U1 so unique is it’s removable screen that quickly converts [...]

“…The design of the Airlife 100 is nice. Good clean lines, a light, 1KG, weight, large and quiet keyboard, good plastics and silent operation leave a good impression.

I’ve owned more than a couple ThinkPad’s in the past and was disappointed to see that Lenovo had very little to offer when shopping for a new more portable laptop.
