ASUS video hints of a possible dual booting Windows/Android tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftASUSGoogle
A few days ago, ASUS released a video that teased an upcoming tablet that seems to be an addition to its Transformer line. The Transformer tablets can dock into a QWERTY keyboard and the video invited the viewer to join ASUS as it announces "the truly incredible next transformations". The manufacturer's next video was released on Thursday in advance of an announcement set for June 4th at Computex. Considering the message of the new video, that announcement could be very interesting indeed.

Asus, HTC Unlikely to Join Google's Chromebook Party
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsASUSHTCGoogleChromium OS
Google this week announced a second generation Chromebook model from Samsung, the Series 5 550, which dispenses with the previous generation Chromebook's Atom N570 processor and replaces it with a dual-core Celeron B867 chip sporting Sandy Bridge DNA. That's well and good if you're into Chromebooks, except that companies like Asus and HTC aren't tripping over themselves trying to launch second generation Chromebook models of their own.

Asus Google Nexus 7 outed - the first Jelly Bean tablet?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSGoogle
Rumours of a Google Nexus tablet have gathered pace and it's almost certainly going to be a 7-incher from Asus.
A benchmark test run using Basemark has revealed some interesting facts. Going by the codename “Grouper” - Google has a history of codenaming its Nexus devices after fish - the tablet is said to have the model number “Nexus 7” which hints heavily at two important details.

ASUS Readies Two Variants of Maximus V Formula Motherboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUSMaximus V Formula
For various reasons, ASUS confined its Z77 Express-based Republic of Gamers (ROG) lineup to just the micro-ATX Maximus V Gene, and although we've got to see its ATX sibling, the Maximus V Formula on several occasions, ASUS didn't officially launch it. According to a new report by VR-Zone, ASUS will be offering two SKUs of the Maximus V Formula. The company is known to offer these tiny sub-variants with its ROG products. Sometimes the differences between such sub-variants are as major as inclusion/exclusion of a component (eg: Crosshair V Formula/ThunderBolt), and as minor as inclusion of a game (eg: Rampage IV Extreme/Battlefield 3). In this case, it's the inclusion/exclusion of a component ...

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsASUSGoogleAndroid 4.0
The 7-inch ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T we saw in early prototype form during CES just passed through the FCC. It's still only showing WiFi radios with no trace of a cellular connection, although if it's going to be the $249 standard bearer NVIDIA and ASUS were so excited about, that's to be expected. A juicier rumor that has surfaced in the intervening period however, suggests this device will actually be released as a Google Nexus 7-inch tablet (or just sold from a Google store), and could even feature the next version of Android, codenamed Jelly Bean. It could also sell for as low as $149, although the cheaper reworked version might swap out the Tegra processor for one from Qualcomm. We didn'...

ASUS teases new Transformers for Computex debut
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
ASUS loves a good teaser, and its Computex 2012 promo is a fine example of the breed: ominous voice, vague mention of the cloud, and a hint of a new Transformer dockable tablet. “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own” the video – which you can see after the cut – suggests, in what’s almost certainly a reference to ASUS’ recent drive for tablets that can be slotted into battery-toting keyboards, and phones that dock into slates.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL hits the FCC with AT&T-friendly LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSAT&TEee Pad Transformer 300
ASUS isn't known for offering its tablets to North American carriers with 3G or 4G; an FCC filing for a cellular-capable Transformer Pad TF300 could be a clue at a break in the WiFi-only trend. Along with the usual wireless, a TF300TL variant of the Android 4.0 slate has stopped by the agency with the 850MHz and 1,900MHz frequencies needed for HSPA 3G as well as, best of all, 700MHz and 1,700MHz support for LTE-based 4G. All four are what we'd look for in an AT&T-oriented tablet, so don't be surprised if Ma Bell carries a 4G Transformer Pad before long. All but the 700MHz band would be handy for Canadian networks as well. There's no surefire evidence of when the tablet might make a more form...

First the rumor mill revealed ASUS had plans to refresh Ultrabooks with Ivy Bridge and 1080p IPS displays. Then the company confirmed the news itself when it brought some new Zenbook Prime laptops out for a demo and promised they'd go on sale in ASUS' native Taiwan. Now we've got some splendid news for our readers here in the US: those fresh ultraportables are making their way stateside too... eventually. ASUS just confirmed it's bringing four models to the states: the 11-inch UX21A, the 13-inch UX31A / UX32A and the UX32VD. What's the difference between the UX31A and the UX32A, you ask? It all comes down to storage: the UX32A uses hybrid hard drives, while the UX31A packs an SSD. Meanwhile,...

ASUS and MSI launch Thunderbolt motherboards, tie for first place
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUSMSIZ77A-GD80P8Z77-V PROP8Z77-V PREMIUM
You wait for one Thunderbolt-compatible motherboard and then two decide to arrive on the same day. Going alphabetically, ASUS' P8Z77-V Premium is its first Intel-certified board to pack Thunderbolt and it's followed immediately by the P8Z77-V Pro / Thunderbolt. The connection will hook up to multiple storage drives or any Thunderbolt-friendly display -- it can be daisy-chained to up to six different devices. MSI's Z77A-GD80 packs a similarly complicated naming convention (although it's not yet certified by Intel) and like ASUS' offerings, will arrive with Intel's Z77 chipset ready to play nice with those new 22nm processors. Alongside storage and monitor support, MSI also throws in the extra...

Update for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 makes the device more stable
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Transformer 300
A minor software update for the Asus Transformer Pad TF300, which was disseminated to some tablets on Friday, is now being sent out to the remaining owners of the device. As an OTA update, it should be easy to install. The new software version is 9.4.3.29 and the Wi-Fi and camera versions get a bump up as well, giving you some idea of where to look for improvements. One build that doesn't change is the Android OS which remains at 4.0.3.
According to Android Central, the official word is that the update brings more stability to the device (imagine if we could make people more stable with a minor update). Asus says that the update is not yet on the TF30 Firmware page which means you will need ...

ASUS Teases Feature-Packed P8Z77-V Premium Motherboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUS
To an interview with Anandtech, ASUSTek USA representative JJ carried with him a sackful of new Z77 Express-based motherboards. One of these caught keen eyes at VR-Zone, which attempted to describe what it saw. Called the P8Z77-V Premium, this motherboard is poised to go a notch above the already launched P8Z77-V Deluxe, in terms of features. The new P8Z77-V Premium is a crossover between the Deluxe and WS (Workstation) models, in that it features no less than four PCI-Express x16 slots in its all-PCIe slot loadout. The electrical configuration of these four slots is hard to guess, but there is a tiny PLX bridge chip that adds a few PCIe 2.0 lanes to the board's PCIe budget, to wire out onbo...
