Lenovo Skylight to sport dual-core CPU

Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor is powerful enough for the Smartbooks, right? Lenovo begs to differ and that is why they have decided to equip this much-awaited smartbook with 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor. An year ago, the 1GHz Snapdragon processor was the most powerful ARM processor around, but a lot of things have changed now. New, more powerful processors have surfaced and it is important to keep-up with the latest technology and trend.

The Lenovo Skylight Smartbook runs Android OS and will be released in Q4 2010.

Tablets seems to be all the rage and notebook manufactures have been churning-out tablets like crazy over the past few months. But we have not heard anything from Lenovo regarding the Skylight tablet which should have been out by now. So what is stopping the Lenovo from making it available in the market? Well, Lenovo is working hard to swap the Skylight OS with the Android OS which if you ask us makes perfect sense as Android already has thousands of third party apps

So, there is still no official release date for the Lenovo Skylight smartbook on the horizon
