The VAR Guy

Sorry if I sound like a fan, but Lenovo is really firing on all cylinders this year. Introducing the IdeaPad U1 hybrid notebook, Lenovo is touting it as the first PC in the industry that is essentially two devices in one. It’s not just one device with separate functions, it’s actually two computers. Here’s the deal.

The VAR Guy wasn’t looking for love, but he found it during a trip to his local CostCo last night. There, he spotted the $299 Eee PC from Asus. It’s built on Linux — but CostCo’s in-store promotional materials for the device barely mention Linux. That may be a smart move. Here’s why.
