    I was just looking at the new concept laptops from Samsung. Seems like they are really experimenting with the design, which is good to see.

    Personally I don't think the dual screen will really work well for various reasons. A high quality touch screen running Windows 8 with detachable keyboard would be interesting. Of course, ultra portable form factor would be expected.

    I personally consider many windows 8 machines to be way too tablet like.

    That's because manufacturers are showing us machines that benefit from Windows 8's better tablet support. Other notebooks will be shipped with Windows 8 once it is released but the main difference will be the start menu, for which many people aren't keen on the new arrangement.
