Intel demonstrates Letexo slider hybrid-ultrabook

TPU reports Intel showed off Letexo at the IDF in Beijing, a concept of a tabled + slider ultrabook. It's similar to the ASUS EeePad Slider, except that it's Intel based and runs Windows 8.
When slid down, Letexo is almost as compact and functional as a tablet PC, with its multi-touch screen, letting you take advantage of Windows Metro UI; when slid up, a keyboard and trackpad are revealed, letting you use it as just another laptop. Perhaps Letexo is intended to be a large-scale effort by Intel to bring about a transition between laptops and tablets, by shaping people's usage patterns towards more touch-based interface.
