ASUS TAICHI 21 11.6" Touchscreen Ultrabook - Black (Intel Core i5-3317U/128GB SSD/4GB RAM/Windows 8)

The ASUS TAICHI 21 is innovation at its finest. With an incredible double sided display, this slim and stylish portable acts like an Ultrabook with the lid open and a top of the line, multi-touch tablet when the lid is closed. With 11.6" displays, an Intel Core i5-3371U processor, 4GB of memory and a 128GB solid state drive, this is one device that you won't want to put down.

Product Features
  • Intel Core i5-3371U processor and 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM

  • A super-fast 128GB SSD

  • Brilliant double sided FHD displays, one touchscreen and one touchpad

  • Dual band 802.11n Wi-Fi and integrated Bluetooth 4.0

  • Micro HDMI, mini VGA and USB 3.0 ports for connectivity options

  • Pre-loaded with Windows 8


There's no doubt that tablets have made a big move in the portable computing market, but sometimes a tablet and stylus just don't cut it. Enter the ASUS TAICHI 21: with the flexibility of a tablet and the functionality of an Ultrabook, it offer an 11.6-inch double sided screen that can be operated either simultaneously or independently. With the lid open it's a powerful Ultrabook, complete with USB 3.0 ports, full QWERTY keyboard and touchpad. Close the lid and take advantage of the IPS FHD tablet display, using either your fingers or the stylus to scroll through websites, game or stream.

While the exterior of the TAICHI 21 certainly has people talking, it's what's on the inside that truly counts. A powerful Intel Core i5-3371U processor and 4GB of RAM will keep things running smoothly, while a 128GB solid state drive is more secure during transit and offers plenty of storage space. Built to Ultrabook standards, the Taichi has two USB 3.0 ports, which offer transfer speeds up to 10x faster than USB 2.0 ports, along with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, a micro HDMI hookup for connection to HD screens, and a mini VGA output so that you can hook up to external monitors.

By putting the power of an Ultrabook and the convenience of a tablet in a single device, ASUS has revolutionized the portable computing industry. With features and functionality never before seen, the TAICHI applications are limitless. It comes pre-loaded with Windows 8, a smooth and polished operating system that offers increased functionality and usability. Includes both English and French instructions and system software.

Please Note: This product only contains English and French operating instructions and system software. In this context GB or Gigabytes refers to 1 Billion Bytes. The actual formatted capacity will be less.
