Looks cheap.  Check out the smudges and the warped bezel (watch the reflections through the entire video, particularly near the top).<p>Looks weak.  Check out the REALLY slow framerate with a simple resize operation (beginning of video).  Yes, I'm aware of what <i>could</i> be going on, but that sort of thing should be optimized, and a beta version capable of being released on video should <i>scream</i> performance, not lag, or you'll hurt your market before it exists.<p>Looks significantly more expensive.  "Under $1000" != $499 at the bottom-end, and the iPad can claim the same for their top-end version.  Plus, more likely, &#60;1000 means 999.99 (before tax).<p>It also apparently has a separate CPU in the keyboard... which implies they're setting it up as a 2 CPU system when it's in, or they're wasting power by only using the Intel chip, <i>and</i> by using it as a tablet you immediately cripple it.  (if the Snapdragon CPU was more powerful, and they are only using one at a time, then why bother with the Intel in the first place?)<p>No.  Sorry, Lenovo, but Apple beat you on price, power, quality, and release date (and likely OS, too).  I also saw no indication of multitouch capabilities, which are nearly essential for a tablet to be truly useful.  You officially <i>fail</i>.  The only thing you have going for you is a more open setup for software, and then you get the hassles of any regular computer, so it's a plus and a minus.<p>EDIT: omg, it just gets worse, though apparently it is multitouch.  Watch the scrolling not work (and they quickly pan away) in the first video, and read to the end: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/lenovo-ideapad-u1-hybrid-hands-on-and-impressions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/lenovo-ideapad-u1-hybrid-...</a><p><i>Unfortunately, the screen itself was pretty abysmal, with terrible horizontal and vertical viewing angles -- it basically disappeared at 45 degrees off axis.</i>
