Asus Transformer 2 teaser video goes Zen

The teaser video of the upcoming Asus Transformer 2 shows a better and thinner design that could be inspired by their Zen-like ultrabook form-factor.

The 10-inch tablet + keyboard dock combination looks very similar to the Asus UX design.

No details about the hardware were revealed but the video shows a thinner design, a camera flash, a brushed finish and more tapered edges.

We might be looking at an Android 4.0 Ice Cream tablet here with a quad-core NVidia Kal-el processor but that’s just wishful thinking.

Updated: So Asus has finally shown the actual unit at AsiaD (via Engadget) in Hong Kong.

Asus calls it the Transformer Prime running on a quad-core Tegra 3 processor. It’s 8.3mm thin and has almost the same configuration as the first Transformer.

Sir Abe, wala pa nga pong final verdict or final press release regarding their PadFone (tama nga ba spelling ko) tapos meron na agad Transformer 2 :)

I wonder which one will come out first :)

5gig RAM
64gig SSD
core i5
wacom digitizer pen
separate bluetooth keyboard
free folio case with multi-position stand function

Available in the US but not Asia, I believe.
Will take it out for a spin.

ASUS chairman Jonney Shih confirmed that the Padfone would start shipping in the first quarter of 2012 with Ice Cream Sandwich on board. Yum!

Cool thing!

It is much better than IpadII, as it has a keyboard!
