Intel has this week been showcasing its latest technology at the IDF 2012 Beijing. During which Intel has revealed its new Intel Letexo hybrid Ultrabook prototype, which is equipped with a sliding screen, and runs Windows 8 OS. The new Intel Ultrabook codenamed Letexo, has been designed to provide users with the best of both a tablet and a notebook in one slimline device.
Innovative Design and Versatility
The screen of the Letexo hybrid Ultrabook can be slid upwards to reveal the notebook’s keyboard and then replaced to hide it once again, converting the notebook back into a tablet. This dual functionality allows users to switch seamlessly between typing-intensive tasks and touch-based interactions. Another feature allows the screen to be pushed forward and propped up with a built-in stand, blocking access to the keyboard and serving as a small touch-based AIO (All-In-One) PC. This makes the Letexo an ideal device for presentations, media consumption, and other activities where a traditional keyboard is not necessary.
The sliding mechanism is designed to be smooth and durable, ensuring that users can transition between modes effortlessly. This hybrid design is particularly beneficial for professionals who need the flexibility of a tablet but also require the productivity features of a laptop. For instance, a graphic designer could use the tablet mode for sketching and then switch to laptop mode for more detailed work in design software.
Technical Specifications and Features
Full specifications for the upcoming Letexo hybrid Ultrabook are still unknown at present, but it is thought the device will be equipped with Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor and will include HDMI and USB ports. The Ivy Bridge processor is known for its improved performance and energy efficiency, which will likely contribute to the Letexo’s ability to handle demanding applications while maintaining a long battery life.
In addition to the HDMI and USB ports, the Letexo is expected to feature other connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it easy to connect to various peripherals and networks. The inclusion of HDMI allows users to connect the Ultrabook to external displays, enhancing its utility for presentations and media playback.
The Letexo is also anticipated to come with a high-resolution display, providing crisp and clear visuals whether in tablet or laptop mode. This is particularly important for tasks such as photo editing, video streaming, and gaming. The touch screen is expected to support multi-touch gestures, making navigation intuitive and responsive.
As more information is released by Intel, we will keep you informed. The Letexo represents a significant step forward in the evolution of Ultrabooks, combining the portability of a tablet with the functionality of a laptop. This hybrid approach is likely to appeal to a wide range of users, from business professionals to students and casual users.
