Asus unveil Transformer AiO

Asus has announced a new AiO (All in One) device called the Transformer AiO at Computex 2012, This device is amazing being a desktop screen but once detached from the dock can be a normal tablet. Not only that but it can dual-boot into Windows 8 or Android 4.0. Asus are calling it the "World's first Windows RT consumer device".

The device comes with a massive 18.4-inch display or in other words, nearly 2 times the size of the iPad's display. It runs on Android 4.0 and Windows 8, Win8 is said to be the default OS of the tablet but Android can easily be accessed through a button on the device.

I believe this is a must have for someone looking for a normal Windows powered desktop computer but also wants a Android tablet, because this can replace both devices with one. One thing to consider is the size of that screen, people are gonna have to get used to these displays as I see many more coming in future.
