Lenovo appears to be working on a mobile device that looks like a 10 inch netbook, but which has a display that flips back 360 degrees so you can use the machine as a tablet, Yoga-style. It’s called the Lenovo IdeaPad A10, and it’s an Android device with a Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor.
Update: Upon closer inspection of the user manual and photos, I’m not sure there is a tablet mode. It looks like the screen folds back far enough to use in “tent mode,” but it might not lie flat against the keyboard for use as a slate.
While Lenovo hasn’t yet introduced the device, the service manual and user guide are available at the company’s website, and retail listings are starting to pop up in Germany.
It’s not clear if or when the IdeaPad A10 will be available in the United States, but it’s selling for 249 Euros in Germany.
