Attending a trade show has its many perks. But for electronics-enthusiasts across the world, this one might be tops.

CBS News reports that those who attended the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA 2012) trade show got a rare Windows 8 preview on Samsung machines. Talk about a worthwhile trade show giveaway!

Here's what the sneak peek revealed:

• Samsung will release three different versions of Windows 8 dektops (due out Oct. 26)
• Prices will range from $749 to $1,699, "depending on the size of the storage drive, the amount of system memory and the size of the display screen"
• Samsung's Windows 8 computers will all run on Intel processors
• Windows 8 will look and work a lot like operating systems used on mobile devices

Additionally, Samsung is set to unveil its Windows 8 line of laptops by late this week.

Today was the first day of Computex, the annual information technology show that takes place in Taipei, Taiwan.  First held in 1981, Computex has become one of the most expansive computer and technology shows in the world.  And this year's event is no exception; from ultrabooks to Windows 8, if it's important in the world of computers, it's at Computex. 

According to Computex's official website, the show attracts over 36,000 international buyers each year.  Almost 2,000 exhibitors manning more than 5,000 booths vie for attendees' attention with promotional information technology products, latest technologies, and popular trends.

Mashable reports that some of the most stand-out products at this year's Computex are tablets; for example, Intel alone announced that "at least 20 more Intel-powered Windows 8 tablets are coming this year."  Windows 8 will be officially released later this year and will surely shake up the tablet market.

"Natural interaction" ultrabooks are also all the rage.  According to PC World, Intel asserts that ultrabooks are the "next big thing" -- look out for products "equipped with voice recognition, face tracking and touch features."  The development of screens, sensors and other technologies will allow for this "natural interaction" going forward.

Computex will continue through Saturday, June 9, and many more hot, new products are expected to be unveiled.  Is there any product or technology you're most looking forward to?
