I'm a Mac user and very happy to be one. However I had the chance to use Sony's new VAIO Duo 11 yesterday running Windows 8 and I was actually pretty impressed. Costing about a thousand pounds I couldn't justify spending the money myself but for business users this thing may well rock.

The VAIO Duo 11 is half tablet - half laptop. With a 11.6 inch HD screen and full QWERTY keyboard it really is a beauty. But slide the keyboard away and you have a nice big tablet which will certainly appeal to some. Weighing in at 1.3KG it isn't the lightest tablet but combined with the keyboard it is a nice portable solution. With ports galore - D-SUB and HDMI outputs, twin USB 3 ports, Ethernet and an SD card reader the Duo 11 may well be your new best business buddy.
