Taichi is hitting Oz with $1599 pricetag.
 |
The double screen Asus Taichi 21, the hybrid tablet + Ultrabook, will be on sale at retailers this month, it has been confirmed.
The “blazingly fast” hybrid PC comes with two back-to-back 11.6″ Full HD screens, Intel Core i5/i7 processors and comes in two models, costing $1599 and $1899.
Running Windows 8 Pro, the innovative PC – one of the only of its kind – weighs 1.25kg.
By lifting Taichi’s flexible dual-display lid, it transforms from a touch tablet to an Ultrabook, giving users the best of both computing worlds.
Connectivity wise, the Taichi comes with dual-band Wi-Fi with Intel WiDi and Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 3.0 ports, Asus SonicMaster technology with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, a 5MP auto-focus camera with Full HD video recording and second 720p HD video camera.
However, battery life is “up to” 5 hours which may be lacking for users on the go.
