Detachable vs. Clamshell Ultrabooks: What Side Are You On? [Promoted]Promoted story: this post is brought to you by Toshiba

After mobiles phones, laptops are probably the second most personal devices we own, and now they come in more shapes and forms than ever before. The introduction of touch-screens to laptops has ignited a wildfire of industrial design creativity, which is why a PC manufacturer like Toshiba has to wonder what early adopters like you and us think of the difference between new designs like the Portégé Detachable Ultrabook, or something more classic like the Kirabook or other laptops like it.
