Lenovo's LePad Tablet and IdeaPad U1 Hybrid Might Come to India Soon

Lenovo did bring their LePad tablet and the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid to the CES this year and ditched Windows for Android. While the earlier versions of the LePad (which had Windows on board) did not get too much of people love, they certainly might make a mark with the Android version. Anyhow, there is news of Lenovo launching the tablet and the hybrid PC in India.

If you’re unaware of the IdeaPad U1, the PC is a hybrid where the display can be detached from the keyboard and it can be used as a standalone tablet.
