Does anyone currently sell a notebook (not netbook) that will work with Windows 7 and Windows 8 multi-touch gestures?

Dell has a netbook - not interested. Too little RAM and a weak CPU. I'd like to find something with a 15.6" screen, an i5 or better CPU and at LEAST 4gb of RAM, preferably up to 8gb.

Microsoft is pushing touch for Windows 8 so I'd like to be ready for it when it comes out early next year.

The Lenovo Thinkpad X220 Tablet is a second generation i7 based laptop tablet that supports multitouch. But it's only 12.5". I don't know about any larger ones (but I also haven't looked). I'm just mentioning it because I know about this one. Been considering it for a few weeks myself.

-i3/i5/i7 platform
-up to 8gb ram
-ssd option

Thanks.

I'd rather have a full featured laptop with multi-touch screen. I guess I'll have to wait until Windows 8 is released.

What do you mean by full-featured? The x220 tablet is a full featured laptop, imo. They basically took the regular x220 laptop and gave it a multi-touch screen. It doesn't have a docking station option though.

An Apple laptop can, but I'm sure by the time W8 comes out there will be more options on the PC side.
