| Bottom line | Toshiba's experimental extra-wide-screen ultrabook gets a
Windows 8 software upgrade, but it turns the Toshiba Satellite U845W into a computer imperfectly matched for what Windows 8 has to offer. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. | Considering the total package of features and price, the Acer Aspire M5 feels like a safe bet if you want an all-encompassing
Windows 8 laptop with touch that won't cost a fortune. | 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. | You get a decent 14-inch laptop package in the Asus VivoBook, especially given that it has a touch screen, but it doesn't add up to anything particularly impressive that you can't get elsewhere either with better design or for a lower price. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. |
