Lenovo combined a Windows laptop and Android tablet into one epic device — and I've tested it

Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid switches between Windows 11 and Android 13 with a single button press, or by removing or attaching the "tablet."

(Image credit: Michael Hicks / Android Central)Truly, my only real complaint is that the ThinkBook in tablet mode weighs 1.7 pounds, slightly heavier than the Tab S9 Ultra. There's a dedicated switch button on the keyboard; press it, and after a short stylized animation, you're right into stock Android 13 view, with a fully separate set of apps and tools. Regardless, I would trade my current Dell laptop for this funky hybrid in a second, for its versatility and the chance to access Android on my desk with a properly tactile keyboard — and no need to keep multiple devices charged at once.
