ASUS Transformer Book Duet 4-in-1 Hands On! [CES 2014]

2014-01-09
this coverage of CES is brought to you by Toyota so you might have heard about the two and one tablet or two in one notebook or the all-in-one but masseuse is going for the all Holy Grail for in one because using Windows and Android they have created a device that not only brings you a laptop experience but a tablet experience in four different flavors this is the transformer book do it all right and this is the Asus Transformer book do web this is the brand new device from masseuse that allows you to have a Windows laptop or a Windows tablet all in one experience and as you can see here it is Android through-and-through with a Seuss's own UI on top and we're just going through the Android space here and you can see it's all really familiar however what happens here is that once you have a docked inside of the station here there is a button right over on the top right that allows you to change from Android to Windows 8 change into Windows right now and it's a four second change and here we are we are in a full of Windows 8 environments it's a very very great way of just getting all your work and play done because you have two different platforms to be able to do so so if you happen to be a bit of a Windows user because some software works on that and it's not necessary available on Android you are able to on this device go to Windows and use what you need and then when you want to get let's say some other tasks done like some simple word processing or even some Android gaming you can jump right over to the Android space like I did right here the processor inside of the station is an Intel Core it could be an i3 in i5 or i7 processor which were fine which will provide a lot of power for the window side of this device after that as always we have already been saying that it is a dual OS Windows 8 and Android but what makes it unique is that you can use both of them whether you're in a tablet or in a laptop setting that allows you for two settings in the laptop two settings in the tablet portion that allows for this four and one device to come about the dual storage on here does have storage built into the tablet itself at 64 or 128 gigabytes or in the docking station you can have anywhere three hundred twenty two one terabytes in a hard drive the display here is a 13.3 inch IPS display at 1080p resolution which means that it pretty much rivals a lot of the smaller laptops out there today and is pretty much sizable next to them however of course like we keep saying it has a little bit of a trump card underneath and that it can be a docking station a tablet or a full laptop all in one as far as the weight goes it is 1.9 kilograms and actually if you ask me it's really not all that bad once you close it up it does look very nice with this nice brushed finish right here it is plastic all around and really the weight doesn't really detract from the handling at all this is something that is really ultra portable and of course when you have just a tablet in your hands you can do even more with it as a portable device so that is the Asus Transformer book duet this is the four in one tablet and laptop solution that is available you can switch between Windows and Android pretty much seamlessly it's like a four second delay in between and it allows you to get a lot of stuff done on the fly when you really needed to so stay tuned to our channel for all of the best CES 2014 coverage once again this is Josh freghar from Android Authority and once again thank you to Toyota for sponsoring our CES coverage
