Asus Transformer AiO launched
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe Asus Transformer AiO (All in One) has been touted to be the first all-in-one desktop PC which is capable of running not only Windows 8, but Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as well, in either desktop or tablet mode. Yeah, you read that right, Asus has taken off the kid’s gloves this time around with the Transformer AiO which certainly ups the ante when it comes to a dual-booting device.
It is incredibly innovative of Asus to do so, rolling out the Transformer AiO which offers users the option of a tablet’s mobility alongside the performance of a powerful desktop computer, all without having to compromise on design and functionality. The Transformer AiO is said to boast of a desktop PC Station that will feature 3rd generation Intel Core desktop processor technology which enables one to enjoy an outstanding Windows 8 performance, while the presence of a detachable 18.4-inch multi-touch display will carry NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor so that you can have fun with an optimum Android 4.1 Jelly Bean user experience.
The good news does not end there, either, as this particular innovation will allow the tablet to run Windows 8 in Remote Desktop mode, clearly making this a first of its kind in the world since no All-in-One PC has ever managed to offer such flexibility, innovation or design before, making Asus lay claim to such an exclusive device.

Expect the Asus Transformer AiO to arrive sometime in Q2 2013 in North America, where it ought to start from $1,299 onward.

All-in-one desktop systems are usually a great way to save table space since it usually does away with the need for a bulky CPU case, and if you’re in the market for a new AIO system, ASUS has announced the Transformer AiO desktop system.
Considering that ASUS is using the Transformer name for this particular product, you’ve guessed it right if you thought that this would be some sort of hybrid system where tablet meets desktop. The display of the Transformer AiO when unplugged from the PC Station transforms the device into a fully functioning Android tablet, albeit a rather large tablet at 18.4”. Probably not bag or pocket friendly, but it should come in handy if you want to make presentations at the offices of clients. (more…)

[CES 2013] It does seem to be all about convergence devices these days, and Asus follows suit with their Asus Transformer AiO, a particularly weird device in a sense where it will merge the functionality of a desktop PC and that of a tablet – seamlessly switching between the two, while boasting of dual operating systems so that users are able to choose on whether they want to run Windows 8 or Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, depending on the situation that they are in at the moment.
Basically, the Asus Transformer AiO will feature Windows 8 while sporting an extended 18.4”, 10-point touch LED-backlit IPS display, running on a third generation Intel Core processor technology, coming in a compact, versatile design with height and tilt adjustments. Apart from that, it will also boast of Asus SonicMaster technology that delivers crystal-clear sound through its integrated speakers.
Thanks to its 18.4-inch Full HD display that is easily removed from its base station in order for it to end up as a wireless display, it will go some way in extending the range of your machine, while working around the home. Of course, toting a 18.4” “tablet” around is not exactly the stuff that most folks would want to considering the bulk and weight, but that’s the price to pay for flexibility, so to speak. Thanks to the NVIDIA Tegra quad-core processor, it is sufficient to see the removable display function as an Android tablet.
