“Lenovo releases the S10-3t, a convertible netbook that swivels to become either a tablet or a laptop

Looking for a tablet that doubles as a real computer? Lenovo released another Apple iTablet killer at CES 2010, the S10-3t. The new gadget runs Windows 7 and twists to turn into a tablet, or a clamshell laptop. Built around Intel’s brand new Atom N470, it has enough power to run videos and most mainstream programs. And with the first multi-touch capacative screen on the Windows platform, it’s a great touch computer as well. You can pick it up for $4500, when it ships later in January.”
