Asus Taichi 31 To Begin From $1,099 Upwards

Asus Taichi 31 To Begin From $1,099 UpwardsIt was in January this year when the Asus Taichi 31 was first revealed to the world, and you can more or less say that this is one notebook that is guaranteed to stop traffic whenever it is pulled from your backpack, or whatever else bag that you use to tote it around. Well, just a few days ago, it has been made available to the masses, although there were no pricing details to keep the Asus Taichi 31 company.

Sam’s Club, however, shows the way ahead with a starting price point of $1,099 for the Asus Taichi 31, although PCRush did display a starting price point of $1,357, which is a rather strange figure if you ask us. You can sign up to own the Asus Taichi 31 when it is finally available over at a page on Amazon, although this major online retailer has yet to put up an eventual price. While the design of the Asus Taichi 31 has earned its fair share of plaudits, I believe that this is not a notebook which is meant for everybody as it has its fair share of shortcomings. At the very least, you have a rough idea on how much money to set aside if you want to bring home the Asus Taichi 31.

13-inch ASUS Taichi 31 with dual 1080p displays finally shipping after long delay

ASUS Taichi 31 almost ready after long delay a 13inch Ultrabook with dual 1080p displays

If you saw our review of the 11.6-inch Taichi 21, you’ll know that its unusual dual-screen design had a pretty bad impact on battery life. ASUS is taking another crack at the whip, however, this time with the 13.3-inch Taichi that is finally shipping after a major hold-up in the US and promises a big boost to stamina — a max of seven hours of use rather than five. If this claim stands up to scrutiny, the Ultrabook’s other advantages should come back into play: namely the presence of pen or multi-touch input on the outer screen, excellent viewing angles and speakers, and a range of configurations based on either a Core i5 or i7 with SSD storage. We have no idea how pricing will compare to the $1,300 base of the 11-incher and the Taichi 31 hasn’t appeared at any major retailers yet — i.e., it still isn’t quite as “available” as ASUS claims — but we’ll bring you an update when that changes.
