Reller continued to show new Windows 8 hardware. Next on the line-up was the super-thin “Macbook Air-esque” Acer Intel Laptop. The chassis is super thin and sports a full touch-screen. Lenovo Touch ScreenLenovo also came strong with a beautiful flat-panel touch screen, with wide screen angle and excellent touch response.

The hardware kept flowing with tablets powered by Qualcomm chips running Qualcomm tabletWindows RT. These smaller tablets still functioned smoothly and beautifully, running all the Windows 8 apps.

Last but not least were ARM tablets running Windows RT. Because Windows 8 on ARM works just like a Windows 8 Intel laptop… the experience remains the same even though the architecture is completely different.
