Abstract: Asus has been seriously innovative the last few years, starting off a winning creative streak with the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer which culminated in the Transformer Infinity , to be followed by the no less revolutionary PadFone and its gorgeous su...

Dual 1080p screens, Bang & Olufsen audio, Comfortable, backlit keyboard, 256GB SSD, Windows 8
Average battery life, Only 4GB RAM, Dim screen, Huge price tag
The Asus Taichi stands up as a supremely desirable piece of consumer tech that acts as a sterling showcase for Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system. Both power and usability are first class, and the design - as we've come to expect from Asus - really i...
And that concludes our benchmark of the Asus Taichi 21. It didn't make a lasting impression on us, but if you are all for a hybrid – which is half tablet and half laptop – to use for the first time, this one will do....

Innovative design, Great viewing angles on both displays, Fast performance, Supports pen input, Good sound quality
Short battery life, Interior screen doesn't support touch, Runs hot, Some touchpad issues
The TAICHI has an inventive dual-screen design with fast performance, wide viewing angles and decent audio. But we'd rather wait for a second-gen model with better battery life....
Two excellent IPS displays, Impressively thin despite extra screen, Solid ultrabook design and performance
Expensive, Interior screen lacks touch, Gorilla Glass on lid adds weight, Disappointing battery life
Asus adds yet another variation to the hybrid laptop/tablet by sticking a touch screen on the outside of the lid as well as a conventional screen in the usual spot. It's an interesting idea, but expensive, and you'll definitely miss touch input on th...

Dual-display combines laptop and tablet functionality. Gorilla Glass on lid is stylish looking. Quality construction. Intel Core i7 and 256GB solid-state drive.
Dual-display seems needlessly redundant and doesn't always work smoothly. Trackpad required driver update to be usable. Short battery life. No touch on interior screen
The Asus Taichi 21 offers a unique dual-display design, but the end result is a good ultrabook combined with a middling tablet, at a fairly high price....

The Asus Taichi 21 offers a clever implementation of a dual-screen design in a slim Core i7 chassis.
Only one of the screens is touch-enabled, which feels like a major oversight. There are probably only a handful of situations where you'd need an outward-facing display.
More of a clever proof-of-concept than a practical product, the Asus Taichi still delivers on its basic promise, combining two displays for a unique take on the laptop/tablet/hybrid genre.
Innovative design and concept, Light for a laptop even with two displays, Full HD resolution on both displays, Outer display is touch and stylus-enabled
Short battery life, Heavy for a tablet, Uncomfortably high temperatures on the bottom, Few ports, No apps to take advantage of dual-screen design, Performance goes down in Dual-Screen Mode
Oh Asus, you tried so hard to impress us with the Taichi 21 – and it worked … at first. The idea behind this hybrid is cool and different, and we want to like it. We wish the battery life was a little longer, the bottom was less toasty, and the Taichi h...
