Convertible
Windows 8 Pro Ultrabook™ with back-to-back full HD displays combines the

Singapore (10 May, 2013) — Retailing at S$2,998, the ASUS TAICHI™ 31, a sleek Windows 8 Pro Ultrabook™ with a 13.3-inch
dual-screen design, will be available in stores from tomorrow. Announced last
October at the Windows 8 launch, ASUS
TAICHI is a dual-screen convertible Ultrabook that offers the mobile
flexibility of a tablet with the performance and features of a notebook. Featuring
third generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, the ASUS TAICHI 31 is the latest edition
to the ASUS premium touch Ultrabook family. 

Multi award-winning 2-in-1
design

ASUS TAICHI is designed to be
multi-faceted, with two sides transforming into four distinct usage modes –
Notebook screen, tablet screen, mirror screen and dual screen. Reflecting
life’s diversity, ASUS TAICHI allows
users more ways to express themselves. It is a versatile device for many roles,
many places and any time. With smooth and effortless transitions between modes,
ASUS TAICHI guarantees users a
flowing experience that is as natural as life itself.

ASUS TAICHI has received a
number of awards since its launch last October. Its daring design and entirely
new approach to mobile PCs have won the hearts of the judges at the 2013 CES
Innovations Award and 2013 iF Design Award. In addition, the convertible device
was also awarded the prestigious G Mark in the 2012 Good Design Awards for its
breakthrough design that offers new levels of productivity and entertainment.

Dual displays for a
multitude of uses

With
two full HD 13.3-inch screens placed back-to-back, ASUS TAICHI 31 combines the best features of a Windows 8 tablet and
a powerful convertible
Ultrabook in
a single sleek, versatile design. Preloaded with Windows 8 Pro software and
possessing the same stunning black-mirror finish and slender profile as its
11-inch counterpart, ASUS TAICHI 31
is as elegant as it is innovative, and packs a host of features that help make
light work of any productivity task. 

 

As
a tablet, the performance of ASUS TAICHI
31 is powered by Intel® Core™ i7 processor and blazingly fast SSD
storage. The scratch-resistant glass display with 10-point multi-touch makes user
experience on the Windows 8 Pro device effortless and intuitive to use for
everyone, while the supplied pressure-sensitive stylus is perfect for taking
handwritten notes, annotating documents and drawing sketches.

As
a convertible notebook, ASUS TAICHI
31 offers three unique ways to work. With just the inner display active, ASUS TAICHI 31 is a powerful Ultrabook
with a comfortable backlit keyboard and a generously proportioned touchpad incorporated
with the ASUS Smart Gesture technology. Furthermore, both displays can also be
active at the same time in Extended Desktop or Mirrored Desktop mode, making it
easy to show a presentation or share a video, without the need for a clumsy
external monitor or a bulky projector.  

Brilliant images and
astonishing audio quality

The
presence of dual full HD displays with IPS technology give outstanding clarity
with vibrant colour and 178-degree wide viewing angles. Dual-band Wi-Fi with
Intel® WiDi and Bluetooth 4.0 offer high-performance wireless
connectivity, while two USB 3 ports provide full support for the latest
high-speed external storage devices and rapid mobile device recharging. 

ASUS
SonicMaster technology, co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®,
delivers astonishing sound quality on ASUS
TAICHI 31 with all kinds of listening material. ASUS TAICHI 31 also features a rear 5-megapixel auto-focus camera
with 1080p full HD video recording and a front-facing 720p HD video camera,
plus a noise-suppressing array microphone for crystal-clear video chat. Furthermore,
ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II technology provides up to seven hours battery life
with Wi-Fi web browsing, and up to two weeks’ standby time with two-second
resume from hibernation.
