Ah, yes. But the Thinkpad X display was re-oriented by swiveling the whole top 
of the laptop horizontally around a single pivoted hinge. In the case of the 
DELL Inspiron Duo, the display was turned vertically in the middle of the top of 
the laptop, which stayed in place as a frame.

So the same result was achieved somewhat differently.
