That was fun! In truth, the many fun I’ve had with an unboxing for a extended time. Notebooksbilliger.de (a German PC retailer) delivered over the ASUS Taichi 21 for testing as well as the unboxing became a real pleasure. Nice packaging apart, it’s the screens, yes screens, found on the ASUS Taichi which are the headliner plus as a result of the somewhat lighter build compared to the bigger Ultrabook convertibles it feels like it’s closer to the sweet-spot for Ultrabook convertibles. There are some issues to consider regarding though.

The ASUS Taichi here is running about a Core i5 with 128GB of SSD. There’s no digitizer pen included however, the digitiser show is present according to Windows. I do not have idea why ASUS might have effectively disabled such an significant feature by not including the pen. I can’t discover the stylus accessible anywhere yet nevertheless it truly looks like the same pen because found on the HTC Flyer aside within the tip. The HTC Flyer Stylus fees about $ 40-$ 50 thus anticipate the same for the ASUS Stylus.

Take a consider the movie plus allow me understand what we think. I’ve place several food for thought under.

Food for thought: There’s just a 35Wh power inside this. I may tell we instantly we won’t receive over 3.5hrs of functioning lifetime from the ASUS Taichi 21.

Internal screen is not touch-capable however isn’t glossy. Keyboard was exact inside a brief test.

Confirmed inside the last 24hrs:

Windows reports Pen help thus the digitizer hardware need to be built-in nevertheless there’s no pen included. Strange choice by ASUS.

Feel free to place the concerns under. I’ll have certain initially impressions up at the weekend.
