The Best Preparation for Windows 8

Their preparation for the release of Windows 8 is their announcement of their first tablets that will use this revolutionary operating system. Asus announced their tablet named Asus Tablet 810 that is also a netbook. Their tablet can be attached to its corresponding keyboard and when it is attached it will look like a normal netbook. It will run Windows 8 using the “Clover Trail” chip that is newly announced by Intel.

Samsung is also joining the Windows 8 bandwagon by releasing a new hybrid pc (laptop and tablet combination) called the Series 5. This hybrid pc is a beast, for it can last for continuous use for about 10 hours.

Acer also has their own competitor in the Windows 8 market by giving a preview of their Ionia W700. This is a monster compared to the other two because it uses Intel’s Ivy Bridge architecture – which can be used on quad-core processors. This means that the processing power and user response of this tablet is blazingly fast, almost comparable to Apple’s IoS in their IPad line. This is a perfect time to use it because Windows 8’s Metro User Interface needs to have a lot of processing room to provide the maximum tablet experience.

These 3 premiere companies are already prepared for Windows 8. The question is, are the consumers prepared to use another revolutionary flagship operating system from Microsoft.
