PC manufacturers have constantly brought in a lot of innovations in the laptop, Notebook and Ultrabook sections. The fast moving technological advancement and innovation is such that it gets outdated in lesses than 6 months. Moreover, the competition has got so much stiffer that to become the first one to get the best innovations in its device, the manufacturers tend to bring out at least one or two device in every 3 months. Asus and Acer proved the trend in the Computex 2013 when they announced multiple devices.

 

Moreover, there are different OS featuring in different convertible devices these days with Windows RT and Windows 8. Windows RT doesn't run the older desktop applications but instead, it can only run apps from the Windows Store. Microsoft does throw users a substantial freebie in the form of its Office 2013 suite, which is bundled free with every Windows RT device.

Another positive aspect is that these devices are generally more power-efficient than typical PCs, as they are powered by ARM CPUs more often seen in mobile devices. Windows 8 on the other hand, has been the Microsoft's most famous OS. The platform is actually seen in all media possible. The famous Metro UI with the tile format of apps layout in the Windows 8 has now become a major USP of the OS. The Nokia Lumia series has the same UI layered in it. More over, the preview version of the Windows 8.1 is also available, which means the update awill come anytime within this year.

There's no touch panel on this one. But if you close the lid you'll find another 13.3 inch full HD screen. And this one is a touchscreen. So with the lid closed, you can effectively use the Taichi 31 as a Windows 8 tablet. You can also use both screens at the same time.

Or you can play a game together. The ASUS Taichi 31 is pretty light for a notebook, but to be considered as a tablet it is way too heavy.
