ASUS Transformer Book
— the fully featured notebook with detachable tablet

 

ASUS Transformer Book is a powerful Windows 8
ultraportable that’s both tablet and notebook, thanks to its versatile dockable
design. When portability is paramount, ASUS Transformer Book is a thin and
lightweight 13.3-inch tablet with 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i5 or i7
processor. Its 128GB SSD provides ample storage for Windows 8 apps and data,
while the Full HD multi-touch display features IPS technology for brilliant
colours and wide viewing angles. When extra productivity is needed, ASUS
Transformer Book quickly connects to its supplied dock to become a compact and
fully featured notebook with backlit keyboard, large touchpad and separate hard
drive with up to 500GB capacity. The dock also features its own battery for
extended mobile use and a comprehensive array of ports, including USB 3.0.

 

ASUS Taichi — a
flexible fusion of notebook and tablet

 

ASUS Taichi is a sleek Ultrabook™ with a unique
dual-screen design that combines the best features of both notebook and tablet
for the ultimate in mobile flexibility. Powered by a 3rd generation Intel®
Core™ processor with high-speed SSD storage, ASUS Taichi features a choice of
11.6-inch or 13.3-inch back-to-back Full HD displays with IPS technology for
brilliant colors and wide viewing angles.

Lid open, ASUS Taichi is a powerful Ultrabook™ with
backlit keyboard and large multi-touch touchpad for making light work of
demanding productivity tasks. Lid closed, ASUS Taichi becomes a lightweight
tablet with a responsive multi-touch display and pinpoint-accurate stylus for
easy and intuitive use on the move.

ASUS Taichi’s two displays can also be used at the same
time to share information in ways never before possible with an ultraportable. Dual-screen
mode treats ASUS Taichi’s two displays as separate screens, so a presentation can
be shown on the outer screen and presenter notes on the inner, for example.
Mirror mode displays the same image on both screen for easy sharing of content
and software demos with small groups of people, removing the need for a bulky
projector or clumsy external monitor.

 

ASUS Zenbook™ Touch
— the perfectly balanced Ultrabook™  

 

ASUS Zenbook™ Touch is the most advanced Ultrabook
available. Both the 13.3-inch UX31A and the 15.6-inch U500VZ combine
outstanding performance with a stunning spun-metal finish, and feature Full HD
multi-touch displays with IPS technology for brilliant color and wide viewing
angles. With a slender profile that tapers to just 3mm and a low 1.3kg weight,
the ASUS Zenbook™ Touch UX31A is available with 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i5
or i7 processors, up to 8GB memory and 256GB SSD storage. The
Zenbook™ Touch U500VZ features a powerful 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7
quad-core processor, 8GB memory and NVIDIA® GeForce® GT650M graphics for incredible performance
with demanding professional applications. With a sleek design that weighs just
2kg and measures a mere 6mm at its thinnest point, the U500VZ also features
dual 256GB SSD storage in a RAID 0 configuration and an external subwoofer with
rich, cinematic sound quality.
