Microsoft has fundamentally changed the way Windows works with Windows 8, ensuring it works better with touchscreens and tablets.
But what about Windows 8 laptops, Ultrabooks and convertibles? They're all here, too.
One thing Windows 8 is bringing in spades is convergence. A Windows 8 Ultrabook that has a touchscreen? Check. A laptop with a flip-around screen? Check. Tablet PCs that slide up to reveal a keyboard? Check.
It's tough differentiating these from tablets at times, but the one stipulation they have to be in this article is that they have an attached keyboard and also run x86 Intel or AMD processors. None of the machines in this article are ARM-based.
That means they don't run Windows RT, the version of Windows for ARM systems. They do, however, run either Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro. Check out our article on the different Windows 8 versions.
So here's the list of Windows 8 laptops, notebooks, convertibles and Ultrabooks we've looked at so far - and make sure you read our Windows 8 review, too.
