Lenovo Skylight – a ARM and Linux based smartbook… what?

Lenovo Skylight

From the Skylight Web: Lenovo Skylight is a sleek, stylish 10″ mobile HD device with a web-optimized interface that lets you enjoy the web and rich media everywhere you go.  Skylight is the digital solution for mobile users demanding a no-compromise, full web and media experience in a light, compact device.

Ok, now why Smartbook?

Skylight is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon™  ARM processor which generally is found in smartphones. This is more than a valid reason for the device to be called a smartbook and not a netbook! So it seems we now have a new class of devices under the name of smartbooks!
