With windows 8 having released it seems a whole new class of ultrabook is being released. I have seen many such as the Lenovo yoga, and i believe dell has a varient
what i a wondering is if any of these new modern ultrabook/tablet varients will have what i am looking for
I want anywhere from between an 11 inch to 15 inch screen (i think most of these are roughly 13) with at least 720p res
From what i am seing these all seem to run i5 ivy-bridge CPU's with intel HD 4000 graphics cards. Are these cards enough for casual low spec gaming? simple things such as the sims or other little games you may want to play on the go. I have a clevo p180 that does all my serious gaming (wow, BF and what not) but would like this ultrabook to be able to play simplier games for both me and my GF to use and enjoy on the go
My other option is in regards to interfaces. The yoga when in tablet mode has the keyboard still exposed which is odd and unsettling in if your outdoors or in very dusty city busses dust can be trapped.
The dell has a hinge on the screen and i much like this idea but am worried the hinges will wear out. I also would very much like one of these devices to support a digitizer stylus such as a wacom. I do currently own an asus ep121 but win 8 drivers are not supported as of yet
My last question is in regards to windows 8. I know there is the RT version which has its own marketplace like google play store or IOS marketplace. Will the apps that work on the Rt version of win8 be supported in the full version of win8? i ask because im sure there will be games a plenty designed to work with tablets that i would hope work on the full win 8.
Thanks a bunch everyone!
