# Unique Dual-Boot Laptops Lenovo's Latest Hybrid Laptop Combines Windows and Android in One By Colin Smith | Published 2024-01-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinkbook-plus-gen-5 References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/8/24030533/lenovo-ces-laptops-legion-thinkpad-thinkbook) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro1TRim2Ufk)  The 'Thinkbook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid' from [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-yoga-book-9i) is one of the most interesting computation devices showcased at CES 2024. This is a hybrid laptop that combines both the Android and Windows operating systems seamlessly into one device. The laptop itself mechanically functions similarly to hybrid tablets such as the [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-book-s) Surface Go, but the internal components of this Thinkbook are more interesting. This laptop comes in two pieces, one being just a screen while the other is a sturdy keyboard that attaches to the bottom of the screen. The keyboard is not just a keyboard, though, as it houses the Windows x86 components, namely up to an Intel [Core Ultra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aienabled-convertible-laptops), 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The screen half, on the other hand, is equipped with ARM components, presently including the SD 8+ Gen 1 processor and up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage. When the tablet is used on its own, it will boot into Android and function similarly to a large, fast Android tablet. However when the keyboard is attached and the device is put into laptop mode, it will boot into a fully functional and native Windows 11 environment.
