Asustek has announced it will soon begin U.S. shipments of an all-in-one PC that can be an Android 4.1 tablet or a fully functional desktop running Windows 8 when attached to a docking station.The Transformer AiO will become available early in the second quarter starting at $1,299, Asus said in a statement. The company did not immediately comment on worldwide availability.
The 18.4-inch tablet weighs 2.28 kilograms and is oversized compared to tablets with 10.1-inch screens, so it can be difficult to carry on the road. But it provides more mobility around a home compared to regular all-in-ones, in which the screens are attached to base.
The Asus Transformer AiO works as a tablet or a fully functional desktop.

In addition to Android, the tablet can also connect to the docking station wirelessly to become a remote virtual desktop and run Windows 8.
Asus claims the tablet delivers five hours of battery life. The multitouch screen can display images at a full high-definition resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The tablet hardware includes Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor, which has an ARM Cortex-A9 processor.
The tablet transforms into a full desktop PC when connected to the dock, which has separate hardware for the all-in-one to run Windows 8. It has an Intel Core i5 processor based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The dock, which Asus calls a PC Station, has an Nvidia GeForce GT730M graphics processor, 1TB hard drive, 8GB RAM, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, memory card slot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
The tablet has 2GB of RAM, a front-facing camera, mini-USB 2.0 port, Wi-Fi and a battery. It also has a micro-SD slot for expandable storage of up to 32GB of data. A handle on top of the screen helps move the tablet around.
