ASUS Announces Availability of Transformer Pad TF701 and the

Transformer Book Trio ‘Three-in-One' Ultraportable

Manila, Philippines (20 December, 2013) ― ASUS today announced the availability of two new

devices, thehigh-performance ASUS Transformer Pad and the unique Ultraportable Transformer Book

Trio with a keyboard dock that can also be used as a self-contained Windows 8 desktop PC.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF701T

The new ASUS Transformer Pad is perfect for on-the-go entertainment, thanks to a durable metallic

design that’s just 8.9mm thick and weighs 585g. A high-quality speaker with ASUS SonicMaster audio

technology gives loud, clear sound for music, movies and games, while the 17-hour battery life when

docked means the new ASUS Transformer Pad lasts for two full working days between charges.

The tablet for vivid 2560 x 1600 entertainment

The new ASUS Transformer Pad features a 10.1-inch high-performance IGZO-TFT display with reduced

energy consumption and a very wide color gamut. The 2560 x 1600 WQXGA resolution gives an

extraordinarily sharp image, while IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology ensures accurate color

reproduction, wide 178-degree viewing angles and excellent daylight visibility.

The new ASUS Transformer Pad also features a front 1.2-megapixel camera for crystal-clear video chat

and a rear 5-megapixel camera that captures full-resolution photos while shooting simultaneous 1080p

Full HD video.

The new ASUS Transformer Pad is more than just a high-performance tablet — it’s also an extremely

capable Android laptop, thanks to its Mobile Dock. The dock’s full-size keyboard with a large multi-touch

touchpad makes the new ASUS Transformer Pad perfect for productivity apps and the Microsoft Office-

compatible Polaris Office suite is supplied pre-installed. 

ASUS Transformer Book Trio ‘Three-in-one’

A new breed of ultraportable device with a two-part dockable design that can be used by one person as

a laptop, or by two people as a separate tablet and desktop PC. With the ability to switch between

Windows 8 and Android at the press of a button, Transformer Book Trio offers unmatched three-in-one

flexibility for users who want the best of all mobile worlds. 

Dual processors and dual operating systems ASUS Transformer Book Trio features a sleek and durable

metallic design, and is powered by a 4th generation Intel® Core™ processor for seamless multi-tasking

performance and outstanding energy efficiency in Windows 8 laptop mode. When it’s time for

entertainment to take over from productivity, the 11.6-inch display detaches from the ‘PC Station’

keyboard dock for use as a multi-touch Android tablet with its own Intel Atom™ dual-core processor and

up to 64GB of solid-state storage.

With the display docked, Transformer Book Trio can switch instantly between Windows 8 and Android

4.2 by pressing the dedicated ‘Trio’ key on the keyboard, with data shared between the two operating

system’s via the tablet’s storage. Unlike other dockable ultraportables, Transformer Book Trio’s PC

Station isn’t dead weight when the tablet display is detached. With an external display connected via

Mini DisplayPort or Micro-HDMI, the PC Station can then be used as a self-contained desktop PC with

Windows 8, which means Transformer Book Trio can be used by two people, in two different places, at

the same time. 

Full HD multi-touch display and SonicMaster audio technology ASUS Transformer Book Trio’s 11.6-inch

display features a crisp Full HD resolution with IPS technology for vibrant and accurate color with wide

178-degree viewing angles. 10-point capacitive multi-touch gives instant fingertip control with both

Windows 8 and Android, while the backlit keyboard and multi-touch touchpad ensures comfortable

productivity use. With stereo speakers and ASUS SonicMaster audio technology in both the PC Station

and tablet, Transformer Book Trio also delivers rich and detailed sound with video, music and games.

The ASUS TF701T is available at Php 27,995 and the ASUS Transformer Book Trio is available at Php

49,995 for the i5 configuration and at Php 54,995 for the i7 configuration.
