It's difficult to argue with when you've seen it in action. The U925t's three pound chassis is evidence enough of that, but the convergence of tablet and notebook usage scenarios is consistent with what seems to be Microsoft's vision for the future of computing. This is what Toshiba dubs a convertible ultrabook, and is meant to be an ultrabook first and a tablet second. The big release, and the one that was leaked by the press in Europe, is the Satellite U925t. Whether or not you think Windows 8 will flop, the hardware being designed around it is definitely the way things are going. Like the other vendors, Toshiba is prepped for Windows 8 to land, but the direction the technology is taking to coincide with Windows 8 is fascinating if nothing else.
I had a chance to meet with Toshiba in surprisingly sunny (and toasty!) San Francisco, California and check out their new wares (and some old ones).
