Powerful All-in-One PC performance

ASUS Transformer AiO is a powerful all-in-one PC capable of handling a wide range of demanding Windows 8 productivity and entertainment applications. Designed for desktop use, its PC Station is powered by a 3rd generation Intel®Core^TM desktop processor with NVIDIA®GeForce® GT 730M graphics and features a comprehensive array of ports, including USB 3.0.

When detached from the PC Station, ASUS Transformer AiO's display can be used as two different types of king-size tablet. First, wireless Remote Desktop technology with dual-band Wi-Fi provides complete multi-touch control over Windows 8 on the PC Station for easy access to popular productivity and entertainment software around the home.

Alternatively, the 18.4-inch display can also be used as a standalone tablet with Android 4.1, thanks to its built-in NVIDIA®Tegra® 3 quad-core processor.
