ASUS has unveiled the TAICHI, a new twist on the convertible notebook with not one but two displays, and running Windows 8. Ostensibly a regular notebook when opened, complete with a 13.3-inch display, keyboard, trackpad and a 3rd Gen Core i7 processor, close the lid and you’ll find a second screen: this time an 11.6-inch panel.
This week the folks at ASUS have teamed up with the company known as BlueStacks to sign a deal that will have ASUS computers featuring their Android software right out of the box. BlueStacks is a application which allows Android applications to run on Windows machines inside a shell. This deal will have future ASUS PC buyers given free access to Android apps for six months with an option to upgrade to BlueStacks Premium from that point on.
Happy Thursday, everyone. It's the last day of the month, which means the year is already almost half over. Crazy, huh? But the news press keeps on churning, so let's see what made news today. For starters - Windows 8 release review download available for all. And speaking of things for enthusiasts - Sony unveils world's first 4K home cinema projector.

This year at Computex we're likely going to be seeing a dual-booting Android / Windows 8 device coming from ASUS, the company that brought you the dual-device PadFone last year at this same event. The device we'll be looking at will likely have much of the same impact of that device - that device having gone through quite a few revisions before hitting the market in the end with just Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich rather than its original Android 3.0 Honeycomb/Gingerbread combination. What we're expecting this time instead of a phone that plugs into a tablet is a tablet that plugs into a notebook - dual-booting Windows 8 and Android 4.0 might mean a whole new generation of ASUS Transformer Pads for the world by the end of the year.

In one inconspicuous little benchmark table, two previously unconfirmed rumors seem to be more than likely as though they're the real deal - first, that Google is in fact working on putting its stamp of approval an an Android tablet, and second that the tablet in question will be manufactured by Asus. Rightware's Power Board now lists a "Google Asus Nexus 7" device with an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and 720p resolution that sure looks like what we've been expecting.

ASUS loves a good teaser, and its Computex 2012 promo is a fine example of the breed: ominous voice, vague mention of the cloud, and a hint of a new Transformer dockable tablet. "Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own" the video - which you can see after the cut - suggests, in what's almost certainly a reference to ASUS' recent drive for tablets that can be slotted into battery-toting keyboards, and phones that dock into slates.

At CES 2012, NVIDIA and ASUS took to the stage and announced the MeMo 370T, a quad-core Tegra 3 Android tablet that would cost just $249. Rumors have suggested that the tablet has since been cancelled, or possibly rebranded as Google’s Nexus tablet, but there hasn’t been any other attempts by a company to hit that price point with such powerful specs. NVIDIA has now laid out the concept as an official strategy, dubbed “Kai”.

This morning it's time for Zenbooks, Zenbooks, and more Zenbooks! You're going to want to head to the post announcing everyone ASUS has let loose today and get your ASUS on all day long.

We’ve seen details leak out about the Zenbook Primes several times, but now ASUS has officially announced that its bringing the new Ultrabooks to the United States. Previous details were pretty much spot on: the new laptops will feature Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors in Core i5 and Core i7 forms, and while the default displays will have the standard 1366×768, a 1080p IPS option will be available on all models.
There's a new bit of Samsung / Intel software in the house called Tizen made for the mobile market, and this week we're hearing that HTC is one of several hot off the blocks to release a smartphone with the system embedded. This news comes after Samsung showed off a very early version of some hardware running the first Tizen for a developer conference that took place the same week as this spring's CTIA 2012. With both Samsung and HTC on lock for a device with this software onboard, we're looking for what'll very possibly be a large release - relatively speaking, of course.

USB 3.0 has been trundling along quite nicely, but Thunderbolt has had a bit of a harder time finding a foothold in the market. The tech is only really used extensively on Apple’s line of MacBooks and iMacs right now, and accessories have been slow to appear. Maybe some native support on motherboards will help move things along: ASUS has announced that the P8Z77-V PREMIUM will be the first motherboard certified by Intel to include Thunderbolt.
