I have been trying out SL on a sony Viao with Win 8. It is very unstable. This could have to do graphics memory rather than the new OS. Unless you have optimized your new win 8 laptop with sufficient graphics capabalities don't bother - SL crashes usually after 5 minutes. This was not the case using a laptop with Win 7.

BTW - I opted for the non-touch screen.
