Asus Transformer Book Trio - Video Review

The Asus Transformer Book Trio is an interesting device, bringing the best of two worlds into one neat powerful package. This all-in-one device features three different mode - a tablet mode for portability, a laptop mode for productivity and a docked PC Station mode for creativity. You even get the added benefit of being able to switch between Android and Windows 8

Unfortunately it does have its share of issues. For example, even though the device is capable of running the full Windows 8 experience, we have Microsoft's platform installed on the keyboard dock, and not the tablet. This means that you will have to connect your tablet to the keyboard dock in order to run Windows 8. On the plus side you can quickly switch between Android and Windows 8 while the device is docked. Additionally you can also connect your keyboard to a monitor or an HDTV via HDMI and use it independently from the tablet.

While Asus does include the keyboard with the purchase of this device, it sums up to around $1500, which despite its usefulness, can be somewhat pricey for a  majority of users. Especially since you could find a separate android tablet and a Windows laptop at a cheaper price.
