Lenovo, Samsung Join the Windows 8 Touch-PC Feeding Frenzy

The laptops will feature Intel processors and will come by default with a 500 GB HDD, upgradable to a 128 GB SSD.  The laptops will all carry a 1366x768 pixel touchscreen, which will disappoint some HD purists.  Ports are pretty standard fodder -- USB 3.0 (x1), USB 2.0 (x2), Ethernet, HDMI, a 4-in-1 memory card reader, and combined mic / headphone jack (note: Intel's Ultrabook spec now requires USB 3.0, but the HDMI port is just an optional extra many manufacturers are tacking on).

These recent entrants together with the past announcements paint a clear picture that manufacturers are sold on Windows 8 touch devices.  The question is whether customers will be.
