Windows 8, but is SO bad for some, is undoubtedly part of the new generation. The operating system created by Microsoft is designed keeping in mind the touch interfaces, which until 1 or 2 years were not in the world of computers.
When someone goes on a business trip the idea of carrying only a smartphone or tablet sounds great, but eventually everyone realizes that to really work a laptop is necessary as it provides a larger screen and more processing power, not to mention another point as the physical keyboard.
What do you think about this? Will end up becoming tablets replacing notebooks?
