Transformer Book Duet hands-on

2014-01-06
hi guys labeled a word from here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas and I'm taking a look at the brand new Transformer book duet from Asus the company's describes this is the first four in one the device and the reason it says that is because Windows laptop an Android laptop and an Android tablet and a windows tablet this is always switching button it takes approximately four seconds as a sous to switch between Android and Windows and now we're looking at the Android UI and if we press the button again we switch back to Windows now asus won't really tell us how it's doing this but it says it's one of the first genuine do West devices it says it's it's own proprietary technology that's using I've been taking a look at this it has a 13 inch display looking at the battery when it stopped into the keyboard up I get a promise of 10 hours initially now I'm getting promise of six hours so that's not terribly reliable but anyhow the important thing is you can undock the display from the keyboard and then what you're faced with is a 13 inch tablet 13.3 inch tablet as a full HD resolution this this one in particular is also a 1300 by 700 resolution version which is 100 oz cheaper that one is 599 the Google h3 699 we available at the end of march in the united states as well as globally the processor inside is an intel haswell it goes all the way up to 4 I seven there's no webcam or any camera on the back there's a front-facing camera at the front which kind of really makes sense because for such a large tablet or laptop however you look at it you're not really going to take a lot of high resolution shots in terms of storage you get 64 gigabytes in the tablet for 128 gigabytes again that's probably going to raise the price of the device and also in the dock you could get 320 500 750 otero gigabytes or a terabyte of storage on top of oil games have itself the display is an IPS display quite traditional for a sous it's relatively thick we've got a selection of course down here at the bottom here for Jack docking button there's a power key hello and I brings us into the window well actually it's not a power keys is a windows button tucked away at the bottom so this is the first polling one device is it describes it it looks good it has that concentric circles design on the back and it is quite intriguing the always switching is indeed very quick but we need to spend a bit more time with it to get a good idea of how useful would actually ends up being in practice and also first look at it here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas
