A recent check upon LG’s patent filings has revealed that the company is once again looking into making convertible tablet notebooks. We say once again because, apparently, the company came out with a convertible tablet netbook back in 2007, when netbooks weren’t even “invented” yet. The new convertible notebook, according to the patent, will have two different operating systems. One for “notebook mode,” and another for “tablet mode.” Of course, the patent makes no claims that the product will be out soon, but it’s in the works if the drawings and descriptions in the patent are any indication. We’ll update you as soon as more information regarding this product comes out.
