ASUS Announces Transformer AiO PC with Detachable Tablet and Qube with Google TV Media Streamer
ASUS today announced the Transformer AiO at CES 2013, the first all-in-one PC with Windows 8 and a detachable 18.4-inch display that doubles as a standalone Android tablet
ASUS also announced the Qube with Google TV media streamer that brings online entertainment content to HDTVs, the PA249Q ProArt and VG248QE Fast Gaming monitors, and the WL-330NUL Pocket Router - small router that gives wireless connectivity to travelers.
Transformer AiO is the first All-in-One PC with a detachable display that doubles as a standalone tablet for three distinct modes of use. Transformer AiO is a fully featured desktop PC with Windows 8, and is powered by a 3rd generation Intel Core processor with NVIDIA GT 730M graphics. It comes with a 18.4-inch Full HD IPS display with 178-degree wide viewing angles and ASUS SonicMaster audio technology.
With its display detached from the desktop PC Station, Transformer AiO becomes a king-size tablet with two different operating systems. Wireless Remote Desktop technology maintains a wireless connection to the PC Station for complete remote control of Windows 8 using the multi-touch display. Alternatively, Transformer AiO switches into a self-contained Android 4.1 tablet with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor at the touch of a button.
