Hey guys! I'm back once again, this time with the last in it's transforming series; the ASUS Transformer Trio.
Asus Transformer Trio with Android and Windows
ASUS loves to give form to their design, this time being a 11.6 inch three-in-one transformer. If you have been following my first post, where I reviewed about the Acer Aspire R7, you'll probably be thinking that the similarities are there. Well, let me assure you that ASUS add a twist to this transformer; Having both Windows and Android.
What do i mean by that? This transformer has the ability to switch from Windows to Android, and all you have to do is detach the screen from the keyboard. The trick is that the keyboard has a built-in Window OS while the tablet itself is already Android!
Here's a video ASUS did to promote this Transformer, which I think was very fun and creative.
All in all, this Transformer has 3 functions:
1. Tablet mode (Android bits pre-installed)
2. Laptop mode (Windows OS bits in keyboard)
3. Desktop mode (Use as dock station)
The key to your solutions
The Transformer book runs on both Android Jelly Bean 4.2 and Windows 8, processing on both Intel Atom and Core processor. The size of the display is 11.6 inch, with a 10-point multi-touch. Storage space is also sufficient as it can store up to 16/32/64GB EMMC on Android and Up to 500/750/1TB HDD.The rear Camera is 5MP with auto-focus and 1080p recording, and Front Camera having 720p HD.
Dimension 304.92 x 193.78 x 23.6, 9.7mm for Tablet and 13.4mm for Docking. Portability is also handy as the total weight is 1.7kg. tablet at 0.7kg while the keyboard is at 1kg. They make use of B&O ICEpower audio system, so you can be sure to have outstanding high quality audio. It also run on Intel HD Graphics 4400, so intense gaming on this device is not advisable. However, this device is still as powerful, having the USB3.0 Superspeed port. You can be sure to transfer files with lighting fast speed.
Concept of this device seems nice, however costly. I give it 5 out of 10.
For a 11.6 inch screen, I find it expensive to be owning one at SGD $1,998. It's the same price range as the 15.6 inch Acer Aspire R7. so I would definitely like a bigger screen. If you do own an android table and Windows laptop, then you wouldn't have the desire for this. I do think that this Transformer will help lower your work fold as the functionality does help.
Well, that's all for this week's review. See you next time!
