World’s biggest tablet is here

Last Updated 14 years ago by Kenya Engineer

Asus is now the inventor of the world’s biggest tablet. The device dubbed- Transformer Book is a hybrid of a laptop and a tablet. It features Windows 8 OS -the newest version of the Windows operating system.

It converts into a tablet once the screen is detached. “The detached screen of the Transformer Book becomes “the world’s biggest tablet”, said Asus chairman Jonney Shih at a pre-Computex press conference.

Another hybrid device unveiled by the Taiwanese firm is called the Taichi.It looks like a regular laptop – but it has two displays. When closed, the device is transformed into a tablet. But when open, it becomes a laptop with two full-HD screens on either side – allowing two people sitting in front of each other to view the screens simultaneously.

Both Asus devices run Microsoft’s new Windows 8 OS, expected to be released later this year. The Transformer Book’s Android operating system comes into play once the device is converted into a tablet.
