This morning's news feeds are full of new product announcements from Computex 2012 but the one that caught my eye and curiosity is the ASUS Transformer AiO which is an all-in-one deskop PC that can be undocked and used as a tablet (or an appetizer tray) that is capable of booting into Windows 8 as well as Google's Android OS.
Below is the official word from ASUS.
Part tablet, part All-in-One PC, the Transformer AiO is an innovative device that can seamlessly switch between both, and features dual operating systems to give users the option of switching between Windows and Android to suit their needs. Engineered to work with Windows 8, the Transformer AiO features an extended 18.4" 10-point multi-touch LED-backlit display which can be easily removed from its base station to become a wireless display for the AiO PC, extending the range of the PC and allowing users to continue with their work anywhere in the home. The display can also be converted into an Android-based tablet for the home with the press of a button.
It remains to be seen if Android on a larger, non-tablet device will be as desirable but it looks like only a matter of time before ASUS or other manufacturers create smaller dual booting tablets that can run both Windows 8 and Android.
