I've been loving me test drive of windows 8. it's smoother than windows 7. But... All the features that make it really worth having are for a touch screen. I'm currently rocking a Toshiba satellite with a single core Celeron cpu. its a 15" in netbook. I love touch screens but i hate tablets. I'm looking for a convertible laptop. something like a Lenovo X220 or a dell latitude xt2 or a HP touchsmart tx2. But not as heavy as these 3. i like these because they have the power i want but unlike the Samsung series 7 slate and the acer iconia w the screen is attached. I want something Thin, around 2 lbs. minimum core i3 cpu, minimum 4 gb of ram (Upgradable to 8 if possible) and 1 ghz GPU.
I want Bluetooth and NFC. I can really care less if theres a rear facing camera. tablets aren't for taking pictures. thats what phones & point and shoots are for. I want a minimum 3 MP front facing camera. 2 USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports and an HDMI port. When i say thin and light, i really mean thin and light (not iPad thin. I like my computers to have some meat on their bones. Maybe something as plump as a touchpad all round). I want a smart screen and Dumb keyboard. the Keyboard should be little more than a that with ports that doubles as a stand and a case.
DLNA is a must and needless to say to me a good quality touchscreen is like the tires on a car. it absolutely must be top quality. accelerometer is a must, gyroscope and wireless n are a must. hit me back if you've got some tips on where to find my unicorn because the oems aren't making this as far as i can see.
