A bit more interesting is the Transformer Book notebook, which looks like an Ultrabook, but allows its users to detach the screen from the keyboard and use it as a Windows 8 tablet. The hybrid device will ship with 1080p 11.6-, 13- and 14-inch screen options, Intel i3, i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge processors, as well as 4 GB of RAM. The compelling aspect of this device is that the user can choose whether to use the Transformer Book as a "lean-forward' workhorse with the added benefit of an Nvidia discrete graphics chip, or simply consume content in "lean-back" fashion with less graphics horsepower. No word on pricing yet.
The tablet trend may be getting a bit in the extreme direction with the Transformer AiO, which is an all-in-one desktop computer system that can also be used as a tablet with a giant 18.4-inch screen. The AiO runs Windows 8 when in desktop mode and Android 4.0 in tablet mode, switchable with just a press of a button. It is not a final version yet, but described as a prototype and work in progress.
Finally there were two tablets, the 810 and the 600. The Asus Tablet 810 packs an Intel Atom, Windows 8 and a 11.6” Super IPS+ display (10 point multi touch) with 1366x768 resolution. It had a keyboard dock, is 8.7 mm thick, has 2 GB RAM and 64 GB eMMC memory for data storage. The rear camera is 8 megapuxel, with AF and LED, while the front one is a 2 MP model.
The Tablet 600 has a 10.1" display Super IPS+ 1366x768 LCD as well as a keyboard dock. It will run Windows RT and Tegra 3, with 2 GB RAM, 32 GB for storage. 8.35 mm thick, with a 520g weight.
