Acer Iconia W3 8-inch Windows 8 Tablet Images Leaked, Intel Atom Powered with Keyboard Dock
As far as the accuracy of rumors go, one good sign that you’re either spot on or really, really far off is if the company that’s the object of the speculation specifically asks you to remove information from your site.

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2: Windows 8 Slate Review
Lenovo's first ThinkPad tablet was a bit of a disappointment to be candid. Even the best Android Honeycomb tablets were severely lacking on a number of fronts, back in the day.

Microsoft Exec Confirms Company is Working on Windows Blue
A couple of days ago we called Windows Blue the worst-kept secret in tech; Microsoft apparently understands that, as an executive’s blog post today revealed that Windows Blue is a Real Thing so casually and with so little context that he probably assumes everyone knows what he’s talking about. Lap dog- and wine-loving... Read More

Microsoft Teases Windows Blue Features In Fresh Paint Demo
By now it’s all but certain that Windows Blue is coming, and that it’s probably coming sometime this year.

Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx Windows 8 Pro Tablet Tested and Burned In
Microsoft's Surface Pro has been out just over a month now, but with its $899 base price, it's at the high-end of what a lot of consumers are willing to fork over for a Windows 8-equipped tablet, and that's not even factoring in the $120+ keyboard option.

According to the Korea Times, Samsung memory chip division president Jun Dong-soo is none too fond of Windows 8, and he blames the industry’s sagging PC sales in part on Microsoft’s latest operating system and its failure to excite the buying public.

i-mate Smartphone Has Intel Inside, Runs Windows 8 Pro--Assuming It's Not Vaporware
According to the Seattle Times, erstwhile mobile device maker i-mate has something amazing brewing: a 4.7-inch phone that runs a full version of Windows 8 Pro--not Windows Phone 8, mind you--and also docks into a station that includes a 27-inch monitor, a wired business-looking desktop phone, and a separate “auxiliary”...

Dell Latitude 6430u: An Ultrabook That's All Business
Ultrabooks are, in a word, cool. They’re slim, flashy, and lightweight, yet they’re rather powerful and offer users a laptop that can do it all in a form factor that begs to be touched and carried around (especially if it’s a convertible ultrabook, in which case the unit can double as a high-powered tablet)....
