The ASUS AiO P1801 is a unique and stylish computing gadget with excellent performance in Windows 8 as well as Android. It is unique because there is none other of its kind to pose a challenge. It works as an excellent desktop PC, thanks to its powerful 3rd generation Intel Core i5 quad-core CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M discrete graphics card, while the Android tablet is also speedy with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The beauty of this device is that you can use it as a Windows 8 PC with the touchscreen tablet, and you can simply unplug the tablet while it is still switched on and opt to either use it with Android or with Windows 8 streaming over Wi-Fi, thus giving you excellent mobility inside you house or office. The TV tuner adds to its entertainment value, but ASUS should have incorporated a Blu-ray drive instead of the stale DVD writer to really drive the point home.

This particular variant of the Asus Transformer AiO powered by Intel Core i3 processor is priced at Rs 86,999. A Core i5 variant is also available, which is priced at Rs 92,999. The Transformer AiO is a great concept, but it’s a bit too large. It would have been nice if the display was a 12-inch tablet and the PC Station was one-third the size with the same configuration. In that case, the tablet would have made more sense as a portable device. For the price of this all-in-one PC, you would be better off with an iPad or an Android tablet and a regular all-in-one PC.

Asus Transformer P1801-B068K

Touch is becoming a highly desirable in any device, and most leading brands have their touch screen all-in-one offerings out there in various different permutations. With their usual enthusiasm for finding new solutions Asus has decided that what every home needs is a giant 18.4 inch Android tablet that can dock into a desktop PC-like configuration and run Windows 8. If that sounds confusing, then that’s one of the major drawbacks of the Asus Transformer P1801-B068K. The 18.4 inch tablet is not only big, but it is also heavy with 2.5 kg without the docking station. Once docked, the entire configuration weighs in at 6.5 kg, making it one of the heavier desktop replacements out there.

There is plenty to like about this device. The touch experience is fluid and completely problem free. Unlike most touch enabled laptops, you get all the benefits and all the apps of the touch friendly world of Android AND you also get a full Windows 8 experience when the tablet is docked. There is an option to run Windows 8 with the included remote desktop software when the tablet is not docked, but it is frustratingly slow. The solution essentially consists of two devices, and it is possible to buy a dedicated monitor for the docking station to use it only as a desktop PC and maintain the tablet as a heavy portable device for entertainment use around the house. The Asus Transformer P1801-B068K provides a delightful look into the possibilities of all-in-one desktop and portable devices of the near future, with unique features that make it difficult to compare to other devices and this is what makes the device attractive.

60% ASUS AiO Transformer P1801 Review

The PC market is in a very confused state right now, everyone says the market is dying, tablets are gaining in popularity at an alarming rate and smartphones are the norm. ASUS seems to have taken that confusion to heart when they came out with this AIO Transformer. It's a very confused device and while it might have a very specific use-case, it doesn't seem to make much sense, practically speaking. Should you spend your hard-earned cash on it? Maybe not. Read on to find out why.

Asus reviews

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M:

Rebranded GeForce GT 645M/640M with minimal improvements to power consumption. Can also be based on the slower GK208 chip (only 64 bit memory interface).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core i3 (Desktop):

3220:

A Core i3 series processor with two CPU cores and Hyper-Threading clocked at 3.3 GHz. Integrates an HD Graphics 2500 GPU and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

AMD Athlon Neo X2:

L335: Entry level dual core processor for small and thin subnotebooks. Based on the old K10 / K8 mixture produced in 65nm and compareable with a 1.2-1.3 GHz Core 2 Duo (performance wise).

18.4: 18 inch display size is a rare and very big size for desktop-replacement laptops. Laptops with 18 inch displays did not exist before 2008. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

6.5 kg:

This laptop is extremely heavy. Even babys can be carried easier. Only few desktop replacements with 20 inch display fit in this class of weight.

6.5 kg:

78.71%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
