The Verge - Last fall marked a renaissance in laptop design. With Windows 8 on the horizon, manufacturers built truly exciting notebooks with high-res touch screens, clever back-flipping hinges, superb construction, and even displays on both sides.

Computerworld: Dell's new Windows 8 system is one of the first convertibles, which try to be two devices in one. However, this may not be a winning combination.
