Verdict

The Asus Transformer AiO P1801 is a versatile 18.4-inch hybrid featuring a detachable Full HD IPS 10-point multi-touch display that functions as both a standalone Android 4.1 tablet and a remote wireless monitor for its Windows 8 desktop base. In its docked configuration, the PC station is powered by a 3rd Gen Intel Core i5-3350P processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M graphics, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 1TB HDD, while the tablet itself houses an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, 2GB of dedicated RAM, and 32GB of flash storage. Main pros include its unique dual-OS 'one-button' switching capability, a vibrant wide-angle screen, and the ability to stream the full Windows environment throughout a home network. However, its significant 5.3-pound tablet weight makes it unwieldy for portable use, and it is limited by a glossy, highly reflective screen and a relatively short battery life of approximately five hours.
