Ahead of Computex, ASUS had teased what seems to be their latest PadFone hybrid device which offers a convergence of Phone, Tablet and Laptop modes. When Jonney Shih took the covers off its latest sequel, ASUS has taken convergence to a whole new level with 5 modes – a Windows Laptop, a Windows Tablet, an Android Phone, Android Tablet and a Android Laptop. This new hybrid offering is called as the Transformer Book V, offering 5 different modes in a 3in1 solution. The only thing that’s lacking is a Windows Phone mode.
The full specs of the Transformer Book V has yet to be revealed. From the event, the smart phone which slots behind the tablet is a 5″ unit that’s powered by a 64-bit Intel Atom Quad-Core processor with 4G LTE connectivity. Juicing up the phone is a 2,500mAh battery which is said to last 10 hours of web browsing.
The tablet station is a slim unit with a 12.5″ HD display that can be used independently as a standalone Windows 8.1 Tablet. As comparison, the previous PadFone tablets were merely a display which is powered by the phone unit.
The tablet can be a Android 4.4 KitKat device when the phone is docked on it and comes with a massive 128GB of storage. With the keyboard attached, this gives you a full laptop mode in either Windows and Android experience. There’s no word on its availability but you can be assured that this will not come cheap.
