    Probably an IVB update to the E220s. Odd to see it not announced officially like the others though.

    It should be a Win8 touch ultrabook. Suspected a first EDGE tablet.

    I don't think any of the laptop pics are the S230u. They all seem to be Ideapad U series.

    So that would make them "Edge" "ThinkPads" in their normal, casual attire, yes? ;)

    All this needs now is an IPS display and a Wacom Pen (I can dream - can't I). ;)

    Considering it is a convertible tablet, I don't think IPS and Wacom would be much of a stretch.

    If it's being called Multitouch, I would guess it'll have a digitizer. I'm assuming that it'll be a Wacom like the X series tablet since the digitizer will be the same. Odd slot for a convertible so close in specs to the X series. The only negative I see is the Gorrila Glass, which typically means no anti-glare. This convertible looks awesome. Watch them release it in Europe only like the E3x0 series.
