Windows 8 tablets unwrapped in Berlin: Dell goes keyless for ARM

Agreed

I have an iPad.... and I'd MUCH rather have one of these sexy new gadgets that I can use in every scenario. The only trouble for me is figuring out which one I will settle on. HP's Envy x2 would be perfect if it came with a wacom style pen for taking notes.

As I want to hold out for reviews anyway, I may just end up waiting for the Surface Pro since it really is the best to cover all angles imo... lightweight, premium performance specs, easy k/b solution, and a pen. I love Toshiba's slider as well though and will probably get it... though not so much as a tablet replacement, that will be my ultrabook purchase for the year.

Windows 8: Microsoft's tablet-desktop still painful to swallow

Re: a whole hour?

Actually, it is obvious you have not tried the preview version. Windows 8 includes IMPROVED support for users with multiple screens. Not only do you NOT have to move your mouse across multiple screens to get to the Charms if you don't want, EVERY monitor now includes a taskbar which you can set up to be mirrored or independent.

Despite all of the complaints regarding the Metro interface, Windows 8 is hands down the best Microsoft OS they have released.
