When I travel, I always have trouble deciding which gadget or mobile device to bring with me, especially if the bulky DSLR is also in the haul.
So, for a short trips I will just bring the iPad along with me and leave the heavier laptop at home. But for a lengthy family trips the bulky laptop tags along with us.
This should be a thing of the past with the launching of ASUS Transformer Book Trio, announced in Taipei on June 3rd, during COMPUTEX 2013. We can now bring along not two, but three mobile devices together - Tablet, Laptop and Desktop PC.
How about that for convenience?
Transform me! The Transformer Book Trio can switch between Android tablet and Windows 8 desktop PC environments seamlessly.
World's first 3-in-1 mobile device
One word: Innovation. ASUS innovated a means to combine tablet, notebook/laptop and desktop PC in a single product, the Transformer Book Trio, so that you can work, play, and do social activities with flexibility.
The Transformer Book Trio tablet which runs on Google Android features an 11.6-inch screen with 1920x1080 pixel resolution and the detachable hybrid design runs on both Android and Windows 8, which means it uses two Operating Systems.
There is a physical hotkey to allow you to switch between the OSs. However, that hotkey will only work if you have the tablet latched into the keyboard dock; once you unplug the tablet it will only run Android Jelly Bean.

I think ASUS has gone mad already! PC/Laptop almost the same!
Actually the desktop PC mode is more like you r docking the tablet on a fortified docking station.
