Lenovo’s attempt to herald a category of mobile devices has been put off – again – as they announced today that they’re ditching their custom Skylight Linux UI in favour of Android. It’s a significant blow to the already dying smartbook category.
What if I told you there was an ultralight device that put all the functionality of a powerful tablet into the thinnest, lightest laptop you ever saw? It exists. It could be great. And it’s dying before its time.
The Skylight is part netbook, part smartphone, and I’m pretty sure I could throw it 50 metres. The real question is if that makes it a game changer or a novelty act.
