Asus Details Transformer AiO Tablet, Can Run Both Windows 8 and Android 4.1
18.4 inch screen sports 1920x1080 resolution.
Asus has revealed the first details on its Transformer AiO tablet during CES 2013, which is able to run both Windows 8 and Android as its operating systems.
The Transformer AiO was unveiled at Computex in the June of 2012, but the PC manufacturer has remained tight lipped on the 18.4-inch tablet ever since (apart from the FCC listing).
The 18.4 inch screen boasts a resolution of 1920x1080 and a 10-point touch LED-backlit IPS display, which can detach from its base in order to be used as a traditional tablet.
Powered by a 3rd generation Intel Core processor for running Windows 8 applications and an Nvidia Tegra quad-core processor for Android (4.1 Jelly Bean), users can choose between either platform at "the press of a button".
Accompanied by height and tilt adjustments, the super-sized tablet also features Asus' SonicMaster technology, which the company claims to offer "crystal-clear sound" via its integrated speakers.
A launch period wasn't revealed for the Transformer AiO. However, the firm did reveal pricing details: the tablet will start at $1,299 with an Intel Core i3 processor, with higher prices for the versions housing Intel Core i5 and i7 chips.

but at least, it's smaller, rather have a 22" tablet...
I remember when I tried Win 8 13" notebook. the text so small and makes my eye squint every time.
so this is a touch screen desktop or Surface computer not a tablet because 15" laptops are upto 5kgs (with bag) so how can take 18.5" to anywhere Iam going.
Having two separate OS environments kills it. This is not convenience, it's annoyance. You cannot use or take away anything that you had open on you dock, if you take away the screen...
Surface Pro and the likes have gotten things right, since they are fully fledged tablet PCs. You do not have to change the environment once you leave the dock: your pages, docs, movies and w/e keep on rolling seamlessly.
Now had they foregone the dock hardware and integrated it into the actual tablet, would make this - you guessed it, a full blown usable PC. What's ~600 more grams to that behemoth anyway?
For all your Android needs, you can get a cheap, real tablet.
It can stream your Windows desktop via wifi when you undock it.
It's probably better than nothing, though... And it does litte to change the fact that this is a very specific product for a tiny niche.
I pretty sure it's Windows 8. Windows RT can run on a Tegra processor and they wouldn't need two processors one for each OS.
That means i3/i5/i7, so definitely x86. No RT.
