In Pictures: 15 hot Windows 8 hybrid notebooks and tablets

Microsoft's Windows 8 launch on October 26 is nearly here, and new device announcements are coming so fast you need a scorecard to keep up. One of the big themes with this touch-centric Windows release is touchscreens on everything including Ultrabooks, tablets with keyboard docks, or new all-in-one convertible PCs. Some critics aren't buying the hybrid device craze that Windows 8 is inspiring, but if you ever wanted to a touch-enabled laptop, there's never been a better time to buy.

MSI Slider S20

Release Date: Unknown

Price: Unknown

An interesting 11.6-inch slider laptop featuring Intel Ivy Bride processors, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, and HDMI. MSI has yet to release the full specs, pricing, or release date for this device since showing it off at Computex in June. But the Slider S20's throwback look to an over-sized UMPC makes this an interesting Ultrabook slider to check out.
