Yesterday, at the 2012 IFA conference in Berlin, Toshiba unveiled a bevy of new computer devices, but one product clearly stole the show: The Satellite U925t, a tablet-ultrabook hybrid. The device - which converts into a tablet when a user slides the display back and up - runs as an ultrabook on Windows 8 and in tablet mode to access Windows apps.

Windows 8 is coming out October 26. Its big pitch? This product's all about touch. So, how can you sneak touch into a mobile computer? A tablet? A tablet with a keyboard? A touch-screen laptop? Or, how about a hybrid flip-screen laptop that turns into a large tablet? You'll see every one of these options -- and possibly more -- in the next few months. It looks like one of Toshiba's approaches, the Satellite U925t, is set to re-explore the world of larger convertible laptop tablets.
