    Somebody I know claims that "Windows 8 came out for tablets already"

    they claim they have a Popular Mechanics article to back it up.

    I'm inclinced to say BS, but maybe I totally just didn't notice.
    Let's clear this up: is there such thing as a RELEASED tablet version of Windows 8.

    Thank you.

    No... fire up Google and do a few searches.

      I havent heard a word of anyone having 8 yet.

      ...and low & behold that I'll still be using XP when it is out...

      I'll diddle around with win8 when the RC's come out, but that'll likely be as far as it goes...just like 7.

        Windows 8 has some neat new features, but the new interface is gay. If I wanted a smartphone I would have bought one. I'll give it a chance but I'm pretty sure I will be sticking with the paragon of excellence that is Windows 7. Windows 8 needs a touchscreen to operate well anyways.

          A touchscreen is fine for a phone or a tablet....but I'd never want one for a desktop pc. I sit about 4ft away from the monitor anyway, its not even within reach.

            troubleshooting microsoft surface pro 4 no power no led charge light
            by ipatch
            hello, �� i have been sitting on some microsoft surface pro 4 tablets for a while now. i was originally tasked with replacing the battery in one of the tablets, and ended breaking the screen and logic board in the process. decided to buy another tablet with the same specs. got that screen off successfully of the second tablet. the logic board appeared good, but i guess i shorted something out in the installation process of the logic which i've read is a common issue if there is no barrier between the logic board and battery pins. all that said, i ate costs of the repair and have...

            Charger for tablets,phones, micro usb/usb type C cable?
            by paparazzo79
            Hi guys.I needed charger for my phone but could not find original one which is blackview 6600 pro.
            I purchased the chinese one same specs but none of the cables is included.
            So does it matter when charging the phone over that charger what cable do I use (micro usb or type c)?
            I'd need to use type C, I suppose I can use type C because none ofthe cables is included.

            SFX PSU - Need High Current on 3.3V & 5V Rails?
            by DrewPhillips
            I have an older system which was built in the Windows 7 era and which has developed, I suspect, a power supply problem. The system had the same problem, random crashes, a couple of years ago, which I subsequently remedied with a new power supply.

            The power supply which came with the machine is a no-name "Safe Power PE-300". It is SFX form factor and claims a high current capacity: +3.3V @ 22A and 5V @30A (the +12V rail claims a meager 16A). Problem is that SFX supplies (or even ATX supplies for that matter) having high current ratings on the 3.3V and 5V rails seem to be...
