And to top it all, It has a dual-OS system theat enables users to have the best of both worlds. I have to agree I am impressed! These masterpieces need a standing ovation. Take a look why....... (provided here are specs and reviews of HP slate 21 , Asus Transformer Aio Asus transformer trio and Samsung Ativ Q)
HP, Hewlett Packed is an american company that provides user with brilliant technology, is defending itself from other competitors in the
PC industry like Lenovo and Asus by launching the Slate 21. The device is a
21-inch all-in-one computer that can double as a gigantic tablet and runs on
both Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Windows 8 platforms.Though more and more AIO tablet hybrids use Windows as
the main operating system and are capable of running Android apps in the tablet
mode, the Slate 21 from HP does the opposite. Android is its first and foremost
platform and the device is loaded with Splashtop 2 HD software allowing users
to access the Windows computer remotely and also with Kingsoft office software
for work and school.Like most other Android tablets, the Slate 21 is
powered by the Nvidia Tegra 4 processor rather than the typical Intel chip in
AiOs, as the latter are "slower dual-core CPUs – and they cost more,"
according to HP’s blog post announcing the new device.With its 21.5-inch IPS full HD display, at 1920 x 1080
pixel resolution, more than one user can easily share the screen. Unlike other
all-in-ones, the Slate 21 skimps on internal storage to cut costs. In fact, it
only offers 8GB of on-board storage, but at least it includes an SD Card slot
and comes with three USB 2.0 ports so users can plug in an external hard drive
to expand its capacity. It also offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity under
the hood.Keeping costs down is a key part of the Slate
21 as the company wants to position the device for the emerging markets like
China and Brazil. For this reason, the company has included a physical keyboard
supports multiple languages other than English. The Slate 21 is priced at $400
(approx. Rs 24,000). The
HP Slate 21 sports a kickstand in the back that will position your tablet at
the same angle as your aging all-in-one desktop PC, but it can be repositioned
to various other angles that may be more finger or stylus friendly. Judging by
the provided images, multiple USB ports in the back can handle your keyboards
and mice, though I would imagine Bluetooth hardware will be supported as well.
The computer - erm, tablet - will ship with a Nvidia Tegra 4
processor and run Android 4.2.2.The Android interface has
no problem scaling to larger screen sizes, but the vast majority of apps look
atrocious when stretched too far away from their native mobile dimensions.. It
could also be just the ticket for the leagues of people who never quite grasped
the complexities of Windows but still want to search the interweb, browse the
YouTubes, and send tweets just like everyone else.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung
ATIV Q at the Samsung Premiere event, which took place on the 20th of June. The
Samsung ATIV Q is one of the most interesting tablets unveiled at the event.
The reason being that it is a tablet that can run on two different operating
systems namely Windows 8 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, that too at the same
time. So consumers who have always wanted a tablet that runs on Windows and a tablet that runs on Android will no longer have to buy two different tablets. Samsung has come up with an innovative tablet that can
run on two operating systems, that too both at the same time. So you don’t even
have to reboot the device in order to change from one OS to another. There are
hardly any smart devices available in the market that provides a feature like
this The Samsung ATIV Q has a crisp clear display followed by a high
profile hardware configuration, which makes this tablet really fast and
powerful. The tablet has a magnesium body and also comes equipped with a
built-in QWERTY keyboard and features the Samsung S Pen as well. The
Samsung ATIV Q has a 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a super high display
resolution of 3200 by 1800 pixels. The tablet is powered by an Intel Core i5
Haswell processor, Intel HD Graphics 4400 and has 4GB of RAM. It also comes
with in-built storage space as high as 128 GB on a solid state drive, and has
support for microSD, microSDHC cards.And most importantly, since the
tablet runs on a full-fletched version of Window 8, you can run all your legacy
Windows software with no problem whatsoever. As of now, Samsung has not yet
given out the official pricing information but we do know that the ATIV Q is
set for release in August this year. So if the Samsung ATIV Q has got your
attention, and you are planning to buy one, then be sure to check out the specs
list once again. 128 GB of internal storage. The device has a 720p front-facing camera and
a Micro HDMI port with necessary Bluetooth and wifi services and weighs about
1290 grams and has a beast 9 hr battery life.
Earlier this week Asus, the Taiwanese tech who like combining
device announced the Transformer Book Trio, which the company boasts as
the "world’s first three-in-one mobile device. the Trio can be used in tablet, notebook, or
desktop mode, and the device as a whole contains two Intel processors that are
made to handle Android and Windows 8, depending on configuration. When using
the tablet portion alone, a 2GHz Intel Atom processor powers an 11.6-inch 1920
x 1080 display to run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Once the tablet is attached to
the PC Station dock, the operating system can be switched to Windows 8 with the
push of a button. In this mode, users have access to a full keyboard and the
unit becomes powered by an Intel
core i7. Battery life in this configuration is said to last up to 15 hours, and
750GB or 1TB of hard drive space is available for use — up from the 64GB SSD
found in the tablet. The PC Station dock can also be connected directly to an
external monitor for a more desktop-like experience.Pricing and a solid release
date for the Asus Transformer Book Trio have yet to be announced Asus didn’t disclose the price of its latest
Transformer model, but analysts expect it to be relatively expensive and fear
its complicated design may be a challenge to some users .Asus
likes to keep things easy. This is why the device can switch from operating
system to the other in a snap. The Android OS is launched immediately after the
tablet is detached. There is a hot key that allows the user to change from
Android notebook to a Windows 8 platform. The dual operating system gives the
user access to over 700,000 apps from the Windows Store and Google Play. Asus'
Transformer notebook weighs 1.05kg.The ASUS
Transformer Book Trio takes an innovative leap into computing. To date, it has
unparalleled flexibility mixing social activity, play and work in just the
right way. People can either choose to use it as an Android tablet or a Windows
8 laptop or desktop PC.
The
ASUS Transformer AiO is undoubtedly one of the most interesting pieces of
Android-powered tech that we've seen in the past year or so. As a member of the
Transformer family it's made to convert from one device category to another,
but unlike the "typical" Transformers that we're used to seeing from
ASUS, this one doesn't change from tablet to laptop – it's both a full
Windows 8-powered desktop PC and a gigantic Android tablet. The
idea in and of itself seems just a bit absurd: an 18.4-inch display
that can be undocked to become a tablet? One thing's for sure: this isn't the
type of tablet you're going to throw in your backpack and take on-the-go, which
is one of the primary uses for tablets. Instead, this monster is going to be
used around the house and nothing more.
Given that, the entire concept sounds a bit absurd. Make no mistake,
though – this is an extremely well executed piece of hardware, and it made me a
believer. I've found myself using the AiO in ways I didn't previously imagine,
for both entertainment and productivity purposes. The AiO fits a
niche that I feel has its place in the household, especially for families. It's
clear that this device was made to be placed in the common areas of the
household – the den, great room, or kitchen – somewhere it can benefit
everyone. There is so much in this device that i cant just write it down. heres a quick view

You may be asking yourself how this works. It's
actually pretty straightforward: the dock houses all the components that power
the Windows 8 half of the system – the Core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA
GeForce 730m, and the like; the monitor/tablet houses all the Android-based
components, including the 32GB storage area, 2GB RAM, and Tegra 3 processor. As
soon as the monitor is removed from the dock, it activates Android. It's
incredibly seamless, and absolutely brilliant
