Whether or not you like it, Intel’s going to do it… especially with Windows 8. Don’t bother fighting it: “Resistance is futile.”

Your choices will revolve around:

Convertible: Like the Lenovo Yoga or the HP EliteBook Revolve have the swivel screens which don’t detatch and have the guts under the keyboard so these will be higher performance systems due to cooling.

Detatchable: There are a host of these like HP’s Envy x2, and the Samsung ATIV Smart PC. If you want a look see, here’s the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix. These will be lower powered and more power efficient… think, “longer battery life”… true except for the ThinkPad Helix which will have an Intel Ivy Bridge chip, and therefore will go very well with W8 Pro. Intel also has the “Y” Ivy Bridge chip which should extend battery life. The chip requires a fan, so even with the lower power demand, battery life will not be great.

Have a good weekend!
