Asus unveils dual-OS, dual-CPU Jekyll & Hyde Transformer Book Trio
2013-06-03 20:50:49| Extremetech
At Computex 2013 in Taiwan, Asus has announced the Transformer Book Trio, the "world's first" three-in-one laptop, tablet, and desktop PC (!). To obtain this rather dubious title, Asus has created a single device that runs both Windows (desktop and laptop), and Android (tablet). That's not the weird bit, though: Whereas most modern computers get by with just one CPU, the Transformer Book Trio has two: A brand-new Haswell Core i7 chip for Windows, and a Clover Trail Atom CPU for Android.
