| ASUS has revealed a new ultrabook that also has a multi-touch tablet on the outer face of the lid called the TAICHI. For those who can't decide between a tablet or an ultrabook for their next PC, the TAICHI might be the perfect solution. |
For those who can't decide between a tablet or an ultrabook for their next PC, the TAICHI might be the perfect solution.
Conceivably it is also the perfect computer for those of us who use the phrase, "let me show you something'" a lot.
Basically the configuration is a regular notebook when opened, complete with a 13.3-inch display, keyboard, trackpad and a 3rd Gen Core i7 processor, but close the lid and you’ll find a second screen: this time an 11.6-inch panel.
Both support Full HD 1080p resolution, and used Super IPS+ LCD panels for better viewing angles, colors and brightness. There are also cameras front and back, and interestingly both displays can be active simultaneously; ASUS suggests that’s great for back-to-back working or sharing slideshows or presentations with an audience.
The smaller, outer panel is also a touchscreen – complete with stylus support – which means owners will be able to use the closed-down notebook as a tablet and tap their way through the Windows 8 Metro UI. Storage is solid-state, helping keep things as light as ASUS’ regular Zenbook range.
Since the two screens are independent, there is potentially possible that people on both sides could be using the computer independently. Pricing and availability haven’t been confirmed, though given the ASUS TAICHI runs Windows 8 it probably will not be available until later this year.
