Very thorough unboxing & preview ! Now on to a proper review ! With a special section devoted to reading and writing documents on such a high resolution, on such a small screen ! Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing more of ASUS line reviewed by you, Chippy ! And SAMSUNG New Series 7 too !
Thorough unboxing there. Just some thoughts. 1. The Tai Chi doesn't seem to be, the way you held it, as chunky as the Lenovo Yoga 13. 2. I'm wondering about the battery stamina on this. 3. The "divided" configuration - either you use the notebook or the tablet - is intriguing. The physical gesture of closing the lid to access the tablet mode may signal a work flow change. Hmmm. Intriguing. 4. Are you doing a full review on this?
Yeas sure, I can see what you mean. However, having a windows 8 tablet with dropbox for syncing docs across platforms in your bag could achieve the same, right? I guess it is a matter for preference.
Great news ^_^ Looks like all the new Windows 8 tablet line are touch and digitizer ready. The pen adds lot of possibilities for taking notes and even using the tablet in the desktop mode is easier.
Well then. Looking forward to that review. I hope you have a digitizer pen lying around. Would love to see that in action. (On a related note, do you have a review of the Lenovo Yoga 11 in the pipeline?)
Not gotten my hands on one but looking at various unboxings my only real issue is that the screen in the laptop mode could have been a little larger. The small screen with large bezel just makes it looks wrong.
1 - It's not nearly as chunky as the Yoga 13 or XPS 12 2 - Battery is tiny. 35Wh. Yoga 13=54Wh. Battery life WILL be poor. 3 - Yeah, there's lots to think about here. 4 - Yes.
Think of it like this for us onsite techs: And hopefully ASUS can back me up on this or will work on making it a reality. Your a tech, you fill out the paperwork on the keyboard side so it is readable and legible (some of us chicken scratch no end). Document is ready to be signed, close lid, document is not on tablet side. Take tablet to customer, have them sign it. Re open with signed document, email/e-fax it off, put in hibernate, go to next job.
if i had this laptop, i would rather playing desktop games on the inner non touch screen and the touch screen for touch apps, otherwise a vivobook with touchscreen or tx300 transformer would be better choice......
the main seller on this never thought of is the stylus. This is better for two reasons. When your word processing you got a good screen for it (non glossy) and in tablet you have glossy.

A very exciting unboxing of a very portable and flexible Ultrabook/
The ASUS Taichi 21
***** I seriously need to set that up for a photo!
***** PLanning that for the weekend. Got some other commitments today.
***** See here in about 15 minutes. !!!
How to use the ASUS Taichi 21 in Starbucks
No details at the moment. I wonder if they stall it until Haswell because it would make a lot of sense to do that.

The Digitizer hardware is confirmed included (Windows says the screen is pen and multitouch capable) . Looks like you just need the stylus.

no!!! the asus logo on lid top is sweet. it is lit when in normal laptop mode. whenever the tablet side is enabled is is off.

Can you review the Asus Taichi installing Windows 10?
what about the battery life?
Hello sir, Can I increase the RAM of this laptop? 8 GB. I have this taichi21laptop, but its back screen does not work properly. Please suggest me.
Yes, but no stylus included.
Active digitizer or no?
I just got the ASUS Taichi, and it came with the stylus...
Nice review Chippy.
What about the prices? Hmm
nice review we got to see the device, but people watch these videos to get answers you kept asking them.
I don't think that it has the active digitizer, it's a deal breaker for me.
This is outdated as mine lacks a mini vga it is hdmi to vga on mine. also i have a sd card slot.
$$$$ how much ?
now it is 450 - 1000. refurb for 450.
if i had this laptop, i would rather playing desktop games on the inner non touch screen and the touch screen for touch apps, otherwise a vivobook with touchscreen or tx300 transformer would be better choice......

HAHA! Your explain is better than Japanese it! Yes, I'm Japanese!
Generelly like Asus products.. Buut this.. hmm.. :/ don't really get it.
