Title: Review Asus Taichi 21 Convertible Ultrabook
Post by: Redaktion on December 09, 2012, 09:29:58
Revolutionary. One device designed for all jobs. Browsing, presentations, typing, mobility and working with a partner. The simple idea of installing a dual-TFT on the front and rear is to revolutionize using a Windows PC.

The screen you see in laptop mode is NOT a touch screen. To me this is a dealbreaker.

Hello,
when I am checking the color spectrum on the picture and when I read the related text, I wonder where is the misunderstanding.
It is said that Taichi has worse color space coverage than S7. Checking both pictures, S7 (http://www.notebookcheck.net/typo3temp/pics/af2885d57a.gif) vs Taichi (http://www.notebookcheck.net/typo3temp/pics/02f268e394.gif). For me it seems that Taichi has wider color spectrum, while S7 is brighter.
Thanks,
Jozef

I'm so glad the inner screen is not a touch screen, so i can be matte.
A convertible with a touch and a matte screen, that's why i whould buy it.

Perfect business companion. Want it... no need to carry two devices around any more. It is the simple things in life that ultimately makes the difference.

The Sony is the better option for sure. With the battery slice you have 8+ hours of actually use time. The slow mechanism allows for touch screen in bth tablet and laptop mode. And though some criticize the small keyboard of the Sony duo I think it is actually great piece of design work as it keeps your fingers closer to the screen making it a more natural and fluid motion when typing to tapping/swiping the touchscreen. And have you seen the screen on the duo? Brightness and contrast is best I have sen yet on an ultrabook
