The proposition of Windows 8 is tha if you get the hardware right you don’t have to make the compromise that has been typically required to have the convenience of a hybrid. The correct criteria in my view are: 1) device about size and weight of an iPad running Windows 8 and Intel i5 Haswell that slots into a nice keyboard (probably with extra battery and storage in it that costs around $1,000. I am hopeful that we should start to see this towards the end of this year!.

I thought that the failure of the MS Surface or other Windows 8 hybrids was evidence that consumers prefer to have devices optimized for each use case: a good tablet and a good laptop, over a hybrid that does neither well. I was bullish on hybrids when the Surface first launched, but after trying the keyboard, I thought I would never replace my laptop with such a hybrid.
