Since Computex participants have finished preparing their booths, most products are already on show, and that goes for a certain pair of tablets from ASUS as well.
As opposed to the previous edition of the Computex trade show, or MWC 2012/11, this year there won't be an emphasis on Android slates. Instead, companies are going to reveal their Windows 8 projects. ASUS' tablet 600 and Tablet 810 are exhibits A and B, measuring 10.1 inches and 11.6 inches, respectively. "At ASUS we have been incubating for the arrival of this exciting era for several years. We believe that an open and balanced architecture can provide the best, ultimate solution for the new ubiquitous cloud computing era," said ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih.
The 600 and 810 were launched alongside the TaiChi dual-screen ultrabook/tablet. The 600 relies on NVIDIA's Tegra 3 system-on-chip and gets 2 GB of RAM (random access memory), an USB 2.0 port and an IPS display with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels (HD). The obligatory NAND Flash storage device is there as well (32 GB), along with an 8 megapixel camera at the back (with LED flash). As for the software, the Windows 8 version compatible with ARM is called Windows RT.
Tablet 810 is based on an Intel Atom Medfield CPU instead of the Tegra 3 platform. It also integrates a Wacom dual-digitizer, for painting on the screen glass with both the pen and the fingers. Everything else, except the screen size of course, is pretty much the same as on the 600. The 8 megapixel camera on the back is still there, as is the 2 GB RAM capacity and the 1,366 x 768 pixels display resolution (11.6-inch Super IPS+). Finally, ASUS sells, or will sell, matching keyboard docks alongside the two newcomers, in case owners want some way of easily typing their instant messages, e-mails or documents. Unfortunately, pricing information is still concealed, unsurprising given that Windows 8 won't launch until late in the year.
