U1 Hybrid iPad from Lenovo

Do you see that arrow beneath the finger? That's why I wouldn't buy it. I guess is not multitouch either. And ~1000$ is way too expensive.

But at $1000 you're getting more than an iPad. Do you think that the iPad would be the same price if it was integrated into a MacBook?

More is not always better, and I think that this video perfectly illustrates that. A tablet should do what a tablet does well and a notebook should do what a notebook does well.

My point wasn't that this was an awesome product. My point was that they are providing more than the iPad does, so they can't run it at the same price point.

Fair enough, then we should compare the iPad to the Lenovo without the extra computer. My impression is that Lenovo knows this tablet is rubbish, so won't sell you it by itself. Ergo, iPad wins by virtue of being on the market.

Still, for a grand I'd hope that the machine could keep up with my finger swipes.

But you can currently spend a grand on a laptop that doesn't have any detachable screen and/or touchscreen interface. This is a step up from that, albeit not 100% perfect.
