Asus Transformer Book Trio
 |
We heard the first rumors around the Asus Transformer Book Trio at Computex show earlier in 2013, but we had to wait until September, when at the IFA in Berlin the new tablet made its official debut. This model is a laptop that consists of two parts which can be separated and work independently. Moreover, it can be plugged into an external monitor and become a desktop computer. As far as the hardware, the Transformer Book Trio boasts a nice 11.6 inch screen offering a 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution and a 190 ppi. This tablet model is powered by a dual-core 1.6 GHz processor in the screen part and by an Intel Core i7 processor in the keyboard part. The keyboard station includes 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 1TB hard disc while the display part comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage. Both parts support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Asus Transformer Book Trio has a 5 MP camera with autofocus capable of videos at 1080p. The front facing camera shoots at 720p, suitable for video chat. In terms of software, the Trio runs both Windows 8 and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean when docked, however, if detached the display runs only Android. |
