ASUS has released loads of things at Computex 2013, taking place in Taipei, Taiwan. True, the show will only start tomorrow, but the company has already made the announcements.

One of the noteworthy things is something called “three-in-one notebook, tablet, and desktop PC” hybrid.

Called Transformer Book Trio, it looks, on the outside, like any other tablet with a keyboard dock, but it really is more than that.

It actually has both Windows 8 and Android operating systems installed on it.

Two Intel processors power it too, one for each OS. A Core i7 Haswell for when the slate is in notebook mode, and an Atom for when the tablet is, well, a tablet.

There's even a hotkey that switches from one OS to the other.

As for the rest, Transformer Book Trio has 1 TB HDD storage, a 64 GB SSD, and a battery that lasts 15 hours. Not bad for something with an 11.6-inch LCD (1920 x 1080 pixels). Sales will start in Q3 for an unknown price.
