Asus Transformer All-in-One Desktop Hands On: Android And Windows 8 on Your Giant Removable Tablet

We ’ve known about the Asus Transformer AIO since back at Computex , but the mutant loan-blend was n’t in working order until now . The finding of fact ? … Kind of cool , actually .

Here ’s the Transformer ’s story : It ’s an 18.5 - column inch information processing - display all - in - one data processor that pass both Windows 8 ( with a Core i3 to i7 central processing unit ) , as well as Android , with a musculus quadriceps femoris core Tegra 3 . And then , the 18.5 - column inch show pops out to become an enormous tab , whichapparently everyone is doing now .

This particular one work by just lifting it out of its holder by its back handle , which you’re able to see in the video above . you could then stand it up on its kickstand to operate on on its own . The Windows 8 portion of the computer is housed in that stand , but can continue to send the information to the display even after it ’s split . The Android portion is housed in the tab portion . It weigh about five pounds and get a arrogate five hours of battery life when disconnect from its rack .

It ’s got 16 GB of storage on the Android side , and starts at a terabyte for the Windows 8 side . And of all the “ tabletop PC ” we ’ve run across at CES , this relieve oneself maybe a small more signified than the others , since it leave part of its bulk behind . We have n’t used it for an extended time period of clip , so there ’s a fortune that this could drastically affect public presentation after a while , but it was just fine when we encounter it . toggle between Android and Windows 8 was smooth , too , just ask the press of a button on the side , and not demand more than a 2nd or two to make the switch .

It looks like tabletop desktops are going to be the next lapin hole that PC makers fling their naive little hearts down , which is fine and kind of exciting actually . But still , it ’s nice to see some specialization between them , even this early , when they could well all just be shapeless feints of ideas . Between this Android mashup and Lenovo ’s HEY - GUYS - WE’RE - qualification - A -TABLE missionary station , it seems like these should n’t be boring , at least .
