Dell XPS 12 review | Laptops and netbooks Reviews | TechRadar:

"Windows 8 has a shaken up the design of laptops and tablets, with the new emphasis on touchscreen technology resulting in some of the best hybrids we've ever seen.
With this in mind, there was little surprise when Dell announced that its new 12.5-inch Ultrabook, the Dell XPS 12 convertible, would be another shape-shifting device. But there were a few raised eyebrows when we learned that the screen-swivelling design of the Dell Inspiron Duo from 2010 was making a return.
Available for £1,299 /AU$1,499/US$1,199, it's a serious outlay but with top components and both laptop and tablet functionality, it's one of the biggest names on the Windows 8 roster."

Toshiba LX830-10F review | Pc & mac desktops Reviews | TechRadar:

"Somehow the Toshiba LX830-10F feels both current and out of date at the same time. The idea of an all-in-one PC that sits in the front room and handles media, games and even office programs with ease, all packaged up with an interface that's easy and intuitive to use on a touchscreen, is an attractive one.
But for years they've been lumbered with operating systems that might be fine with a keyboard and mouse, but just don't work well with touchscreens.
However, now that Windows 8 is here, we are begging to see some excellent all-in-ones, such as the Dell XPS One 27 Touch and the Lenovo IdeaCentre A720, that take advantage of the more touch-orientated operating system. Fast, fluid and good looking, these PCs and their operating system work brilliantly together."

Lenovo ThinkPad Twist review | The Verge:

"In ten years, it seems like everything's changed — but maybe things aren't so different after all.

In 2002, Acer revealed a PC that was also a tablet, the TravelMate 100. The convertible device used a swiveling central hinge, allowing the screen to rotate 180 degrees and fold down on top of the keyboard so you could hold it in two hands like a tablet. The concept never caught on in a truly mainstream way, but has occupied a niche ever since the TravelMate's introduction.

Now, a full decade later, Lenovo is trying once again to take the rotating laptop mainstream by bringing the swivel back with the new ThinkPad Twist. Fortunately, though, the hinge is the only thing that's stayed the same: the ThinkPad runs the touch-friendly Windows 8 instead of the horrid Windows XP Tablet PC Edition; it has a 2.6GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive, all specs that would've seemed like science fiction in 2002; and at $899.99 it's a lot cheaper than the $2,500 TravelMate 100.

The TravelMate 100 concept has clearly stood the test of time. But ten years after its introduction, have hardware, software, and processing power finally converged to a point where a swiveling convertible like the ThinkPad Twist makes sense?"
