Asus still bets on the Android/Windows 8 hybrid - introduces the TD300 at CES 2022

The creation of Android/Windows viii hybrid machines is naught new. I personally wrote an editorial a month ago, entitled "A Tale of Split Personalities: Windows eight-Android Hybrids", that full-bodied on the negative effects these machines could have on the Windows 8 ecosystem.

This yr at CES 2022, the trend continues as Asus announced its Transformer Book Duet TD300. The unit itself can be dual-booted between Microsoft's Windows eight and Google's Android Jelly Bean operating systems.

The new Asus hybrid does accept some quite impressive specs with a crisp 1080p 13 inch multitouch display and Intel'due south latest Core i7 processor under the hood. The TD300 itself features a 128 GB Solid Land Drive and 4 GB of RAM.

Of course, this is a double hybrid - not only can it run both Windows and Android, just it can as well switch betwixt a tablet and a notebook. The detachable keyboard adds on a multitude of ports including an Ethernet jack, USB port, and HDMI out port. In add-on, the base tin hold a ane TB hard disk drive for the user to piece of work with.

A super hybrid machine such as this comes at a price, every bit one would imagine, but it is not the budgetary cost that makes this unit of measurement unappealing - it is the weight. The unit itself weighs in at over 4 pounds and is also thicker than most Ultrabooks at half an inch thick.

Asus is hoping to sell this device on the assumption that consumers desire to jump between two unlike operating systems and they are trying to make that even easier with their "one touch push" that the company states volition let users to instantly switch between Windows and Android.

The TD300 will be landing at a cost of $599 (non too shabby) and should make the ultimate automobile for the Google/Microsoft schizophrenic in your life.

What exercise you think of Windows 8/Android hybrid machines? We'll run into if we can become some hands-on time with the new ASUS while at the 2022 CES this week.
