ASUS Teases Dual-Boot Android Windows 8 Machine For Computex

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.

The teaser video you're about to see doesn't reveal a whole lot besides the fact that we'll be going through a whole new door with the two systems on one machine. ASUS has also released a teaser that includes two sides of a single board which say Tai and Chi, flipping around in the wind and creating one object. This may mean that there's only going to be a tablet coming our way, but we're still shooting for a transformable device as per ASUS' track record thus far.

Endless Possibilites seems to be the theme here, with water dropping together and splitting apart like a growing lifeform. Next you'll see the Tai Chi spot with the same epic drum beat preparing you for some next-level wild delivery of electronics – be ready! Also take note that the term "all-in-one" has been tossed around several times, this making a single desktop computer a possibility as well – expect docking!
