In the ASUS suite, we found some pretty cool stuff. So, one and two are some
0:04
all-in-one PCs with Windows 8 and some touchscreen functionality, and that's
0:07
very, very good stuff. But the real big winner right here is the Transformer AIO
0:13
P1810. Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES
0:16
2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC
0:21
components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology,
0:25
and our trusted networking partner is Lynxys.
0:32
So, check this out, guys. It's an all-in-one PC. So, there's a Core i5
0:36
computer here. You got your slot load optical. You got your dongle for your
0:40
keyboard and mouse. What else you got here? It's got some heft to it. It's got
0:43
some weight. Feels quality. Nice metal base. Beautiful. On the side here, check
0:48
that out. Four USB 3.0 ports. SD card as
0:53
well as your uh microphone, headphone, Kensington lock. There's an additional
0:57
Kensington lock. That's the first hint, guys. That's the first hint. There's a
1:01
separate Kensington lock for this. Why did they do this? Why are they calling
1:05
it dual system Android Windows 8? Well, I'll show you why. Because it is a full
1:09
multi-touch Windows 8 machine. It has an
1:13
IPS panel here that's 18.4 in. It is full HD. It has Sonic Master audio. And
1:18
if you just go like this, it is the world's largest tablet. Wait
1:24
for it. Wait for it. And
1:31
did I break it? Okay, guys. It looks like I messed it up a little bit last
1:35
time, but you can see it running as the world's largest Android tablet. I mean,
1:39
come on. Let's do our Let's do our traditional iPhone size comparison here,
1:43
guys. Yeah, that's right. That's how big this thing is. So, I had I didn't
1:48
realize there's a magic blue button that makes everything that you see possible.
1:53
So, all you got to do is align it with the base station. this Android uh tablet
1:57
running Tegra 3.1. You press the Voodoo button here and
2:03
boom, you're running a Windows 8 all-in-one PC. You take it off and
2:07
there's going to be a mode later that communicates through Wi-Fi that allows
2:10
you to use it as a Windows 8 tablet wirelessly communicating with the base
2:15
station or it has its own dedicated hardware inside. Remember, Tegra 3.1
2:20
processor to run as an allout Android
2:24
tablet. So, this is this is just faking cool at this point. So, check out what
2:28
we've got for IO. There's your power. There's your headphone, microphone, all-in-one jack. There's your micro SD,
2:34
USB, voodoo button, as I said before, volume, power.
2:39
On the bottom, you've got a dock connector. That again, that must be like
2:42
the voodoo dot connector because there is some magic going on with this product
2:46
right here. nothing on the other side except that Kensington lock we showed
2:49
you before and your all out Android tablet goodness. So, you know, portrait
2:54
mode like I mean think think of it think of it this way, guys. You know, you're
2:58
on a stand. You're uh sorry. You want to show
3:03
Oh, yeah. There's a stand, too. Don't worry. I'll show the stand. Yeah. So, think about this, guys. You're
3:07
sitting on the couch. Your vision's not so good anymore. You want to read a book
3:11
or you want to read a web page. Yeah. This is probably the way to do it. sit
3:14
with your, you know, you know, can't see up close anymore. You want to move it a
3:18
little bit further away. No big deal. You want basically a I mean, that 1080p
3:22
TV that you can sit in bed with and watch your movies and then, you know,
3:26
tuck under your nightstand when you're done. This is pretty much it. Is it
3:30
portable? Is it something you want to take with you on the bus? I would
3:34
suggest that perhaps you do not want to use it that way. But as far as versatile
3:38
devices go, you get the Windows experience, you get the Android
3:41
experience. Remember, you can run Android when you're on here. Just press the magic button and magic happens. And
3:46
last but not least, it has an integrated stand and handle. So check this out. Go
3:51
like this because I mean, yeah, it's a little bit on the heavy side. I don't
3:54
know if you'd want to walk. I mean, you could walk around the house with it. I
3:57
mean, check this out. You're like, "Yeah, I'm watching a video. I don't want to stop." So, I'm going to just
4:01
kind of put this up here. Going to wash my dishes. Watch my video. Put this
4:06
right here. I'm going to get some ice and like I don't know, like eat it or
4:09
something. Okay,
4:12
I can do that. No problem. Got my stand.
4:16
You want to carry it around? Got my handle.
