Windows 8: The Complete New PC Launch List
All the major new Windows 8 hardware being released this holiday season
Dozen of new PCs are launching alongside Windows 8. Some are inventive new designs with sliding keyboards and removable screens, others are simple retreads of existing products, occasionally augmented by a new touch screen. Here you'll find all the major new Windows 8 hardware being released this holiday season, sorted by brand. Many of these systems are available to preorder now, and most will ship when Windows 8 launches tomorrow.
Acer
A big part of Acer's Windows 8 plan is to rebrand the company as a purveyor of high-end laptops. Hence, the expensive, but very attractive, S7 ultrabook.
Dell
Dell has resurrected one of its most unique designs in the convertible XPS 12, formerly known as the Duo 12. It's also one of the biggest PC makers trying out a Windows RT device.
HP
HP plays it mostly safe with a collection of updated products and slightly expanded product lines, including a detachable-screen hybrid and a touch-screen laptop.
Lenovo
Lenovo is going all-in on convertible laptops, offering several variations, along with a hybrid and even a Windows RT system.
Microsoft
Microsoft is making a rare foray into hardware with this tablet line, highlighted by an impressive keyboard cover.
Samsung
Samsung adds Windows 8 and touch to some of its high-design laptops, but so far doesn't have a break-out unique product.
Sony
Surprisingly adventurous, Sony grabbed our attention with its 20-inch tablet/all-in-one and a cool-looking slider PC.
