Lenovo has released an unusual 2-in-1 Transformer called ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, previously announced at CES 2024. The device can switch not only between two form factors (laptop and tablet), but also between two CPUs, each with its own memory configuration and separate operating system attached.

At the heart of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid are two sets of hardware. The first configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H chip, 32GB of RAM and a terabyte SSD (M.2 2280), and runs Windows. The second includes a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage, and runs Android.

‘The face of the device is a 14-inch touchscreen OLED panel with 2.8K resolution, with a 113Wh battery responsible for battery life (38Wh and 75Wh for tablet and laptop mode, respectively). The hybrid also has an additional 10GB of shared memory for both OSes to work together and a plug-in keyboard that also allows the devices to be used in any of the selected configurations.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid is priced at 15,999 yuan (about $2200) in the Chinese market.
