Microsoft Surface Pro Review: Too Much Future?

The Microsoft Surface was the biggest new tech of 2012. Its first iteration — Surface RT, a confusingly named and marketed tablet-with-a-keyboard — bombed. Pretty hard. So why believe in the full-powered Surface Pro? Simple. It’s a braver and more divergent take on the laptop-tablet convergence than anyone else has risked so far.

Dell’s XPS All-In-One Turns Into A Decent 18-inch Tablet

So, this sounds nuts, but Dell’s new 18-inch desktop tablet actually feels… light. Like something that isn’t insane to hold and carry around, and, more importantly, like something that might have a chance at being more than a gimmick.

Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 Review: Just Barely A Laptop

Lenovo probably did Windows 8 the best of anyone so far with the bendy, twisty Yoga. Now it’s got the Thinkpad Tablet 2 and keyboard combo. If the Lenovo Yoga is a laptop that’s sort of a tablet, this is the tablet that’s sort of a laptop.

Windows 8 Hybrids: Netbooks That Just Aren’t Worth It

Windows 8 hardware sales are off to a slow start as shoppers scratch their heads over Microsoft’s new operating system and flock to low-cost tablets instead. Could a souped-up netbook save the day? The latest hybrids powered by Intel Atom processors promise the best of both worlds: the versatility of a laptop combined with the portability of a touch screen slate. But now that we’ve tested a couple of these detachables, I’ve concluded that the folks who price these things are detached from reality.

Toshiba Satellite U920t Review: Not Boring, But Not Quite Good Enough

Technology is boring when everyone is doing the same thing the same way. That’s sort of happening with ultrabooks and, now, Windows 8 convertibles. Except with Toshiba. Toshiba is still up to weird stuff, like super wide ultrabooks, or this weird little Satellite U920t convertible.

Dell XPS 12 Review: Beautiful Screen, Flimsy Frame

Among all the Windows 8 convertibles coming out, the Dell XPS is unique. Because it’s insane. It’s a full-on, regular laptop, with a trapeze artist screen that flips on an axis to convert into a slate. Is that something you would actually want?

Lenovo Yoga Review: This Is How You Build A PC/Tablet Freak Machine

I’ve got a bunch of Windows 8 PCs sitting around the office and my apartment. I use them all throughout the day, but when I need to actually get something done or test out a feature, I find myself using the Lenovo Yoga without a second thought. That’s probably a good sign.

Dell’s XPS Duo 12 Might Have The Best Laptop Of The Hybrid Combinations

Over the next few weeks, you’re going to hear a lot of noise from manufacturers about how one hybrid product or another gives you all of the benefits of a laptop and a tablet with no compromises on design. The Dell XPS Duo 12 is one of the few that actually seems to back that up.
