Official Unveiling for Asus Transformer AiO Hybrid Android/Windows 8 Tablet/PC

[dgstorm]

When Asus gets motivated to go all out on a device, they throw everything but the kitchen sink at it, and today's unveiling is a prime example of that. Asus officially announced the full specs, pricing and availability dates of their new Asus Transformer AiO, and if you can't find something to do with this marvelous hybrid device, then you probably aren't trying hard enough. This beast of a device isn't just a tablet, and it isn't just an All-in-One PC. It is all of the above combined into one glorious amalgamation. Here's a full breakdown on this beastly device.

For the PC half of the device:

• 18.4-inch display with Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution - with 10-point touch
• Windows 8
• Intel Core i5-3350P processor
• Up to 8 GB of RAM
• 1 TB HDD
• GeForce GT 730M GPU
• SuperMulti DVD Drive there
• USB 3.0, HDMI, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and an SD card reader

For the Tablet Half: (Asus Eee Pad design aesthetics)

• 18.4-inch display with Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution - with 10-point touch
• Nvidia Tegra 3 processor
• 2 GB of RAM
• 32 GB of on-board storage
• A microSD support
• 1 MP front-facing cam
• 32 Whr battery capable of around 5 hours of continuous use
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
• 5.28 pounds by itself

Of course, a monster device like this does come with a monster price. It will hit retail outlets April 12th for $1299. Still, many AiO PCs sell for the same price, so ultimately the fact that you have a fairly powerful new PC that doubles as a dock for your multi-OS Android/Windows 8 tablet, is a pretty good deal overall.
