At A Glance

The Transformer All-in-One is a world apart from the other portable all-in-ones we’ve seen, but it’s not as sexy as Dell’s XPS 18 Touch.

Manufacturer’s Description

Meet the world's first All-in-One PC to feature all the performance of Windows 8 desktop and the flexibility of a tablet. ASUS Transformer AiO is perfect for productivity, but detach its 18.4-inch Full HD display and it instantly transforms into a multi-touch Android tablet.
