Because Windows 8 is also meant to be a regular laptop and desktop operating system -- not just for tablets -- there will also be regular laptops with touch screens. Intel is investing in touch technology for ultrabooks to help move along the process. The Acer Aspire S7 is one of the first of this genre to be introduced.

It's a 13.1-inch ultrabook (or really thin computer), but has a full HD touch screen. Of course, if you don't want to reach out and touch the screen it has a full backlit keyboard and touchpad. The aluminum unibody laptop also has Acer's Twin Air cooling system to keep your lap from getting warm.
