Asus unveils All-in-One Transformer as biggest tablet

Listen to article

Asus claims this is the biggest tablet around. Just check out the photos of this all-in-one PC after the break.

The all-in-one PC runs Windows 8 out of the box.

But you can actually detach the large screen and carry around that huge IPS LCD display.

The big surprise is that it can also dual-boot to Android ICS.

So you get a Windows 8 tablet and Android ICS tablet in one.

We’re still collecting more data as we wait for the press kit. More updates as we go.

At first I thought that this is insane. But come to think of it, there’s a lot of all-in-one PC out there who’s sizes exceed 20 inches, (HP for example) and most of them have touch screens.

What ASUS did is take it to the next level by making the screen detachable.

Don’t look at this at a tablet perspective. Look at it at a All-In-One PC perspective.

It a all-in-one PC, the tablet mode is just a additional feature. As i read, i think you can’t really carry around too far from the base like a real tablet because the OS is being transmitted wirelessly to the screen.

As what I have gathered from some android forum, the device is called Transformer AiO and it has an 18.4 inch display.

Not as big as Steve Ballmer’s (2012 Microsoft CEO) 80 inch monstrosity.

Best way to watch stuff in a coffee shop, I’d say.

“just me” is right, it’s more on commercial use. Could be a potential rival to Windows Surface :-D

It’ll be more flexible than a table :-P

I initially thought with iPad: An iPod Touch that big is really wrong. LOL. Asus might say: not all tablets need to be portable. hehe.

Fanboys you shut up! Stay on the middle! Don’t become blinded by any OS (iOS, android, windows, etc.)..all of them have their own PROS and CONS…You should stay on the middle.,I own both android and iOS tablets..,AND DO YOU THINK MAKING TABLETS OR ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICE ARE EASY? SIGE KAYO NA GUMAWA NG SARILI NINYONG TABLET! SIGURADONG WALANG MAGKAKAGUSTO! >.<

You missed the fact that ASUS has predicted the future and that is in December we’ll be in the verge of a nuclear holocaust and the radiations will morph us into larger sized beings. What they didn’t consider is how unrealistic it would be to have a tablet commercially in those times.
