Wow, neat!

Available with Android ($500) or Windows ($550) in October. 1.52 pounds, 10.1" 1920x1200 IPS screen, Atom X5, 8500mAh battery (15 hours of general use). Similar to a Microsoft Surface book, the screen can flip all the way back:
Key feature is what they call the "Create Pad". It's basically a Wacom drawing tablet with a few key features:
1. Large keys outline under the surface for you to type on as a keyboard. Lenovo says it takes about 2 hours to get used to, although the article's author doubts that & had a lot of trouble with types while using it.
2. With a tap of a button, the keys disappear & it becomes a drawing & writing tablet. You can use it as a traditional Wacom tablet with the included pen.
3. The included pen is called the Real Pen because you can swap out the nub with a real ink pen. The point of this is to clamp on a piece of paper over the tablet & write as you normally would on a real piece of paper, but it also carbon-copies your input digitally into the computer.
4. It apparently also supports live handwriting recognition via OCR:
Pretty wild design! I think typing on the keyboard would be garbage (maybe better with Swype & Autocorrect), but as a portable writing & drawing tablet, COOL!
