| Bottom line | Dell has revamped its rotating Duo laptop concept into the much-improved XPS 12, but like most convertibles, it makes a better laptop than
tablet. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. | While there are certainly things to like about the Sony Vaio Duo 11, the design gets in the way of enjoying them. | One of the few standout products from the first wave of
Windows 8 laptops, the Acer Aspire S7 proves that Apple does not have a monopoly on great design. |
