ASUS Announces TAICHI is Now Available in New
Zealand
An Incredible Fusion of Notebook and
Tablet with Innovative Dual-Screen
Design
Auckland, New Zealand, (23rd January
2013) — ASUS is pleased to announce the TAICHI,
an incredible fusion of a tablet and a notebook, is now
available in New Zealand. The TAICHI is available from
RRP$2,149 from retailers including Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi
and Noel Leeming, and authorised resellers including PB
Technology and Playtech. It will be distributed by Synnex
and Ingram Micro New Zealand.
The TAICHI is a milestone for the ASUS design team, offering unparalleled flexibility and new ways to share information. With the latest Intel® Core™ processor and two back-to-back Full HD screens, TAICHI incorporates the most cutting edge technology into a slender profile that tapers to a mere 3mm and weighs just 1.25kg.
Notebook and tablet in one single,
stunning design
With a unique dual-display
design and stunning black-mirror finish, ASUS TAICHI
combines the best features of a multi-touch tablet and a
notebook — switching seamlessly between the two in
seconds. Lid open, TAICHI is a powerful Ultrabook™ with a
Full HD screen, backlit keyboard and large multi-touch
touchpad capable of handling all your daily computing tasks.
Lid closed, TAICHI becomes a lightweight tablet with a Full
HD multi-touch screen for easy and intuitive use on the
move.
Dual screens for exciting new ways to share
information
TAICHI’s back-to-back
dual-screens can be used both simultaneously and
independently, opening up a world of new ways to share
information, entertainment and applications. With the lid
open, the TAICHI can share a presentation or movie to an
audience on both sides, removing the need for a bulky
projector or clumsy external display. IPS display technology
ensures a brilliant image on both screens, with extremely
accurate colour reproduction and 178° wide viewing angle
for outstanding clarity. TAICHI also features a stylus for
pinpoint precision with productivity and creative apps.
High-end specification with incredible sound
ASUS TAICHI features a powerful Intel® Core™
processor with 4GB memory, Intel® HD 4000 graphics and a
choice of blazingly fast 128GB or 256GB SSD storage.
Dual-band Wi-Fi with Intel® WiDi and Bluetooth 4.0 offer
high-performance wireless connectivity, while two USB 3.0
ports provide full support for the latest high-speed
external storage devices and rapid mobile device recharging.
ASUS SonicMaster technology, developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®, delivers astonishing sound quality on TAICHI with all kinds of listening material. TAICHI also features a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with 1080p Full HD video recording and second 720p HD video camera, a noise-suppressing array microphone for crystal-clear video chat in challenging environments and up to five hours’ battery life (measured with Wi-Fi web browsing).
