This ThinkBook Has Both Windows & Android Installed NATIVELY

Lenovo unveiled a couple of interesting products at CES 2024, including a laptop that runs Windows 11 and Android 14 natively. In this video Adam shows you how it works and also shows off an OCuLink based GPU dock. I think a regular tablet paired with a wireless keyboard is a lot more aesthetically pleasing and more practical. Too bad no one makes a PC grade tablet with a practical desktop stand, a nice speaker, and quality wireless keyboard. Adding firmware OS has been done before, and has never really been well received. Maybe since it's pretty easy to make dual boot, to a secondary OS of your choice, or to boot to an Android USB stick.

Oculink eGPU enclosure is still a niche product, thanks to that interface. I'm surprised that they didn't release a multi-GPU box to go with the whole AI bandwagon at CES. Also no mention of their oculink bandwidth implementation, and whether it can keep up with 4080 and above. Seems redundant to me IMO when 30- and 40- series mobile have really closed the midrange performance gap, even on thin and lights.

That Android/Windows laptop is a neat idea! I have questions.
Since the screen portion and keyboard portion each have their own battery, do they also share power when connected
When you switch between the Android and Windows functions, when one mode is in standby, is it consuming extra power because it has the other OS in the background

I COULD USE THIS! I've been wondering if it were possible to dual boot Android with a desktop OS to reduce my need for a laptop and a tablet, and this might be just the product I need! If there comes a model in the future sporting an AMD APU and at least a 120hz OLED display, that would be awesome!

I appreciate the mad scientists over at Lenovo who keep coming out with these oddball - but very cool - alternate form-factors and hybrid computers. I don't know if this is going to sell well, but it's definitely an interesting concept.

The eGPU thing, I'd rather invest in separate desktop and laptop. The only use case I can think of is if the software/data you want to use on both systems does not easily sync across different systems, so you can't have separate systems.

It's an interesting device but what use cases have they actually pointed to that it helps with If you were developing for Android, there are easier tools/emulators to test apps without needing to transfer to a completely separate device.

I would have been excited about that a decade ago but nowadays I really don't know why you would need an Android tablet anymore when Windows tablets work so well.

Interesting ideas, but I've had one Lenovo laptop, and it'll be the last the bloatware and the custom, cut-down bios are quite difficult to live with.
