After announcing a partnership yesterday with BlueStack that enables ASUS users to ruin Android apps on their ASUS device, the manufacturer introduces the ASUS Transformer AIO which 'transforms' from an 18.4 inch desktop Windows 8 PC into an 18.4 inch Android 4.0 powered tablet...

this looks nice, I don't care for android though sooo tablet mode wouldn't be my cup of tea for this one. I am disappointed that Asus is on a roll revealing win8 tabs but um where is everyone else????

Oh my God. I don't want something this big, I want a touchscreen tablet/ultrabook. This is way too big for a laptop, it would end up being my desktop.
I was REALLY hoping for a dual-boot 10-13 (max being 15) tablet with a keyboard dock with Android and Windows functions. I5 Ivy Bridge and 4 GB of RAM.
Then again, I haven't tried it yet. Might be pretty good.

Exactly. I was disappointed because this was what they decided to put the dual-boot in.
I'm kinda happy though, because I want Google to make Android their own Linux distro for computers and laptops (along with mobile) and I guess that this is the first step!

WHAT THE HELL! A tablet that big isnt called a tablet anymore...........its like the HP touchpad!! I wouldnt want that either because you cant just put it in a bag and go lol

Its called the AIO for a reason, its a full size ALL IN ONE PC

all you guys commenting on its portability. Did ya notice how it said it was an "all in one PC", not a laptop? lol. its a desktop first, that can easily be taken with you.

This is the where Windows 8 tablets will get their market share, the tablet/ultrabook/all in one desktop concept which Microsoft patented not too long ago will be a hit with a lot of people, although I think a 15 screen inch would be a better fit. The 10 inch and smaller market is not where Windows 8 should focus, leave that for IOS and Android to battle it out.

I would buy two of these as long as the price is reasonable, which I think is fairly plausible since it's ASUS.

And this is a prime example of why ASUS is such an amazing manufacturer. A 15-inch laptop would have been better than an all-in-one 18-inch PC though, IMO.

Okay, that's pretty sweet. Gotta admit. Concerned about battery life though.

I would be all over a 15 inch variant but I recently got a 15 in laptop.

Yes, I could really go for this, if the price is realistic. However, I really would like (yes, really) a larger screen, something at least 23", even 27".
I spend a good bit of time working on a computer while the kids watch tv, and this would make a wonderful implement for putting on my lap and browsing while we watch tv. I imagine it having an available wall dock, too, for the kitchen, bath, bedroom, etc.
I suggest that they make the top edge of the screen thicker so that it has a natural tilt (slant) while on a table or lap.
Really the beginning of something big (pun intended). Bring it on, please!
