Must admit I like a lot of the things Asus is putting out, just wish I had the money for some of these toys. What can I say I like the idea of having a tablet and and laptop thrown together like this if it is done right. Even the one with the tegra 3 running windowsRT 8 has office which should put it in a league of it's own in terms of actual use for taking notes compared to what Android/Ipads have been using in terms of tablets.

Which one has a stylus and what technology? If this were an apple product apple would have shoved such features down out throats and then removed our wallets on the way back out

hmm, Q2 2013 release date on the Asus transformer... this is exactly the windows 8 product that I was waiting for. Woulda been nice to get it by Christmas though =]

You read my mind, but I'll probably skip the first gen and look forward to second gen.
I love the idea of tablet and laptop in one(keyboards are very important for me). They should reduce the weight and the thickness of the whole machine so that it can be use as a tablet for an extended period of time.

While the Asus VivoTab RT sounds great, I'm sad they didn't keep the Transformer Pad Infinity resolution 1200p going. The only improvement I see are the RAM (by 1 gb, which is nice)... but the price being $100 more seems steep for getting less than their android predecessor. I have the Pad Infinity and was looking forward to a possible Windows 8 RT upgrade by ASUS but doesn't seem worth it now. Oh well, JellyBean has been great for me so far. Maybe next round ASUS

Agreed. Seems interesting.

I already have the Taichi coming on Saturday or Monday. As a saleman it is great for a presentation. As a techie I think it is a great toy. Also getting the Enegizer power source 18000 ma as I know the battery life could be better...... Will let you know soon.......

Impressive.

I really don't find any of these impressive because all but 1 are hamstringed by Intel IGP. Its the failure of all thin notebooks and tablets today. Right now the processor is not as important as the GPU in this form factor.

Intel IGP = Integrated Garbage Product
