Computex 2012: ASUS announces 18.4-inch Transformer AiO

After a number of teasers, ASUS today announced the Transformer AiO. As the name implies, it is an all-in-one computer that transforms into a tablet. It also supports both Windows 8 and Android.

In terms of specifications, ASUSC has only announced a few key details. The Transformer AiO comes with a large 18.4-inch 10-point multi-touch LED-backlit display that can be detached from its base station to become a wireless display, extending the range of the PC and allowing users to continue with their work anywhere in the home. It typically boots into Windows 8 but can switch to Android at the touch of a button, transforming it into a quite large Android tablet.

While the Transformer AiO is certainly innovative, it remains to be seen how customers will respond to it. Its 18.4-inch display could make it too unwieldy and will likely put a crimp in battery life.

ASUS did not reveal availability and pricing details today.
