Do you need a new Windows 8 device to fully appreciate the operating system, to the point that you'll buy one?
In the weeks and months leading up to the launch of Windows 8, there was scarcely a hardware company in the land that wasn't planning some kind of device designed around the new operating system's touch capabilities. We saw news everywhere of tablets that dock into keyboard bases, laptops that twist and fold, and notebooks with touchscreens.
But even as Microsoft and other manufacturers hinted heavily that the full Windows 8 experience deserved new hardware sporting touchscreens galore, it's been unclear to us whether customers are buying into the marketing. Now that Windows 8 devices are out in the wild at retail stores for your personal perusal, we're wondering: are you interested?
There are a few different variations of Windows 8 devices, and we've broken out options for each in the poll below. A "touch laptop" is a PC that looks and works like a regular notebook but has a touchscreen, like the Samsung Series 5. By "keyboard-dockable tablet" we mean a tablet that either comes with or is designed to work with some kind of physical QWERTY keyboard, like the Microsoft Surface or the Samsung ATIV Smart PCs. There's also an option for a "standalone tablet," one without a keyboard dock. Finally, a "convertible laptop" is a notebook that physically transforms into a tablet-like shape by folding or twisting, such as the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga.
