hi I'm TMR Blanca Christina at the asus media event in San Francisco and this is the Asus Transformer book trio living up to its name the device the Swiss Army knife of tablets thanks to its additional ability to convert into a laptop and extended monitor but that's not all it also runs both Windows 8 and Android jelly bean 4.2 the versatile device has a detachable keyboard allowing it to transition from laptop to tablet easily and the mini display port as well as micro HDMI port for connecting to a monitor as a standalone tablet with Transformer book trio is impressively light for an 11 point 6 inch slave but he gets significantly heavier when docked at about a pound and a half however the divisive does feel solidly built when docked the Transformer book trio can run Windows 8 or Android and switching between the two is rather fast with about a one-second gap between the operating systems the tablet itself doesn't function as a monitor but the keyboard dock when connected to a display allows you to use it as a Windows 8 desktop the Transformer book trio looks like a great compromise to people who can't decide between a tablet or laptop and Windows 8 or Android or for someone who wants a truly all-in-one device it's not the fastest powerhouse but it does an impressive job at being a multi functioning device with a variety of configurations check CNET for more information in a hands-on look for CNET i'm Xiomara blanco and this has been the Asus Transformer book trio
