I think a turning point will be a combination of great Windows 8 apps and nice hardware.
Concerning the hardware I am surprised to see very attractive stuffs here in Japan. The Fujitsu Arrows tab here is an example:

It is featuring an Atom CPU so it's running the full Windows 8 (not the RT version) so it means you can really use whatever Windows software you've been using before on this machine.
I believe the idea of having a single device replacing the desktop and the tablet is still attractive to many users. It will take some time for PC-makers to propose compelling offers but 2013 may be that time
