Well played, sir. A Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook for your efforts.
Don’t lose heart if you missed out, we’ve got new comps every day!
The XPS 12’s touch-enabled flip screen lets it instantly transform from an ultrabook into a Windows 8 tablet. It’s also built from durable materials: machined aluminium, bonded Corning Gorilla Glass and carbon fibre. The machine we have to give away packs a Core i5 processor and 256GB solid state hard disk and 8GB of memory. You can learn more about it here.
To enter, simply write a technology-themed, 5-7-5 haiku in the comments that includes the word FLIP.
You must also be a registered Gizmodo Australia member. Not a member? Register here.
That means 3 lines: 5 syllables first line, 7 syllables second line and then 5 again. Example:
Laptops that transform
Will soon be the new blue chip
Hybrid tools that flip
Entries close TOMORROW 10am Friday 14th December 2012. Full terms and conditions.

Flip, flip, the screen turns
The ivy bridge to freedom
Touch our destiny
A great ultrabook
Flip the screen for a tablet
Back for a laptop
My Lumia Rocks
I take it on every trip
Watch this table flip
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Hmmm, interesting competition. Okay, let's give this a shot.

This reminds me of
A Flipsiders cassette game!
Who had one of those?

If anyone else was a child of the 80's you should remember flipsiders! And for those that weren't, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lCqI7WPr1A

Whatever you do
Do not flip normal laptop
Or you will break screen
A gift still to buy
For my technophobic wife
This will make her flip
This year's big question
For Apple iPhone execs:
Where's my NFC?
Where's my 'flip'?
Tiles that are alive
They flip and flash with data
Users touch, then type
I don't always flip
but when i do it's always
on a long road trip
why do haikus sound
so stilted usually.
give me the laptop
Dell XPS 12
Convertible Ultrabook
Laptop. Flip. Tablet.

Do you want a tip?
Dell XPS 12 owns all
with one simple flip.
A tablet in need
Now why not just flip over
What a laptop now?
I will be so hip
Keyboard becomes beautiful
Touch screen when I flip
laptop screens are great
but what they really need are more
flipping fingerprints
Laptop or tablet
Flip it, turn it inside out
The best of both worlds
On-screen keyboard pain
magically solved with just
a flip of the wrist
Hybrid flip style
built for power and pleasure.
This is the future.
EDIT: Fixed the fact that my second line was actually 8 syllables.

Spinning Screen delight
Just flip and keys hide from sight
Gestures now the king
Flip me over silly fool
Convertible laptop see
Merry Christmas me
Laptop to tablet
Change, quick as Melbourne weather
Flip the screen, turn heads
I would flip my lid
if this awesome dell fliptop
was declared all mine
Dell Convertible,
Touch and type? Oh yes they did.
Please now flip your lid.
