Completely going crazy with hardware, Asus has announced two interesting laptop hybrids at Computex. While the first one Taichi is a dual-display Windows 8 laptop, the other one is company's detachable Windows 8 laptop Transformer Book.

Similar to other Windows 8 launches of the day, there is no clear time-schedule for actual market launch or the pricing.

Asus Taichi includes a double-sided IPS display with the outer display being touchscreen. With lid open, Taichi is like any other notebook in the market, however with lid closed, it becomes a multi-touch tablet with stylus support. It will come with 3rd gen Intel core processors, SSD storage, and Wi-Fi connectivity

On the other hand, Asus Transformer Book is a convertible notebook, which allows consumers to easily switch between a notebook and a tablet by simply detaching the display.
