Asus again surprised everyone in the CES de Las Vegas with a hybrid tablet / PC that also stood out for having two operating systems, Android y Windows, each of them working with its own processor. Now we have been able to know, in addition to all its technical specifications, its price and launch date: it will arrive in April for 990 Euros ($ 1299). Although the price is well above the average in the tablet sector, it is actually quite interesting if we take into account its characteristics. We give you all the details.
Although it may not have the popularity and sales figures of Samsung y Apple , no one can argue with Asus the important role it plays in the sector when it comes to innovating and surprising with truly original creations. At MWC de Barcelona he did it with his 7-inch "phone," the Asus Fonepad, and with the new and much improved generation of the Padfonebut in the CES de Las Vegas was not far behind, thanks above all to su Transformer AiO.
El Asus Transformer AiO It is really a device that is out of the ordinary, starting with its 18-inch screen, but, above all, with a feature never seen to date: it has two operating systems, Android y Windows 8, between which you can switch easily, and each of them has hardware adjusted to your requirements. A couple of months after leaving us speechless with their presentation, they have finally provided us with all the information that we needed to better understand the operation of this curious tablet.
In terms of its technical specifications, it is certainly a promising device. To begin with, the screen will be exactly 18.4 inches and will have a resolution of 1920 x 1080, that is, it will definitely be Full HD. The “tablet” part of the device will work with Android and will have a processor Nvidia Tegra 3, 2 GB RAM memory 32 GB storage capacity (expandable via micro-SD), front camera of 1 MPx and an autonomy of approximately 5h.
So far we would be talking about a relatively discreet tablet, but the spectacular thing about the device is that it can be connected to a dock station and practically become a PC, with a processor Intel Core i5, GPU GeForce GT 730M, 4 GB RAM and 1 TB hard disk. Of course, even though it's connected to the station However, you can continue using Android if you want, and all you have to do is press a button.
Obviously, it is not a team that is going to be sold massively, how can your Nexus 7, but even so, the price is quite interesting if we take into account its characteristics: it will start selling in April for $ 1.299, which would translate into about 990 Euros, a price that is not too different from that of many of the tablets with Windows 8 what's on the market nowSurface Pro, for example, it sells for about $ 1.000).
