Is the Lenovo YOGA a laptop or a tablet?

It's neither, but it's also both.  Confused?  Turns out it's an ultrabook and a tablet all in one.

The 13.3 inch notebook from Lenovo has specs similar to other Ultrabooks; fast Intel dual core processors, up to 8 Gigabytes of RAM, a 256GB solid state drive for quick booting and wake-up.  It also promises of 8 hours of battery life, we'll see. It's also very light.

Using the 360-degree hinge, the screen will fold completely under the keyboard. Turn it upside down and you have a spacious tablet computer with a large 1600 x 900 multitouch screen. Turn it around again and it becomes a multimedia player.

It's currently running Windows 7, but the YOGA needs Windows 8 to make the switch to a tablet.

Expect the price to be over $1000 when it hits stores in 2012.  I wouldn't expect to see it until Windows 8 is released.
