Lenovo launches laptop-tablet hybrids

SAN FRANCISCO—Lenovo Group Ltd. Tuesday (Oct. 9) launched a family of Windows laptop-tablet hybrids that the PC vendor hopes will address the needs of both businesses and consumers.

The devices, which run either Windows 8 or Windows RT and support touchscreen, are the latest attempt by a PC OEM to bring out devices with new form factors and usage models to suit consumers' increasing preference for computers that are more convenient and flexible than traditional PCs. The hybrids designed to convert from a laptop to a tablet in order to let users take advantage of two usage models.

"We think these innovative convertibles are the best devices for a groundbreaking touchscreen experience, plus their multi-modes give people even more ways to use their PC," said Peter Hortensius, president of Lenovo's product group, in a statement.

Lenovo's latest hybrids will be available in stores this month, with prices starting at between $549 and $1,099.
