| Bottom line | Updated with a touch screen, a new stand, and up-to-date components, the Dell XPS One 27 leads the inaugural class of
Windows 8 PCs. | A compelling experiment in
tablet-desktop hybridization, the Sony Vaio Tap 20 is a great fit for home tech enthusiasts willing to try something new. | It's the best of the small handful of current
tablet/all-in-one hybrids, with a subtle, sophisticated design and good battery life, but this new genre is still in its early days. | With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a
Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range. |
