I've recently travelled to Slowbart to see what Dell have in store with their Windows 8 based machines. I can't say I really feel any more enlightened though.
The Dell sales guys brought some pretty standard laptops and ultrabooks, and an old Windows 7 tablet, but not much else. They had Powerpoint slides of the Dell XPS-12, which is certainly an interesting machine (although I wonder about the durablity of the hinge mecahnism), and a plastic mock-up of their Windows 8 slate (the Latitude 10, I think).
Anyway, it ws nice to be able to talk to the Dell people, and I certainly got some good information about availability. That is, that it looks like we wont see anything until after the Windows 8 launch. I also learned that there will be a lot of Intel Atom based equipment coming out, due largely to Intels very aggressive pricing of this platform. I'm told this is an improvement on the old Atom chips. It would need to be.
