The best of Computex 2012

Computex 2012 has just ended in Taiwan to witness a series of hybrid computers appear. But that's not all.

Along with the appearance of Windows 8 and the latest Ivy Bridge CPUs from Intel, the laptop / ultrabook / tablet models introduced at Computex 2012 have erased the gap between tablet and notebook. Some vendors release tablets that can be attached to keyboards, become laptops, while others show notebooks with back-to-back screens, becoming tablets.

However, computers that can be converted to other formats are not the only interesting points at this year's exhibition. Many new innovations were brought to Computex 2012, from a small projector to a giant Android screen. Here are the 6 best products:

When talking about tablet and notebook combinations, Asus is obviously a cool ' matchmaker '. The company pioneered a hybrid product portfolio with the Eee Pad Transformer tablet running Android operating system in 2011 and dominating Computex 2012 with many devices using Windows 8 platform.

Asus Taichi is the best representative of the hybrid generation, not only offering an attractive tablet / notebook conversion mode, it is also a revolutionary technical solution to the common business problem. In just 1 second, when folding the computer, Taichi will switch to a tablet thanks to the full touch screen on the upper lid.

The most advantageous aspect of the second screen on Taichi is that it allows you to present something - a presentation, a sales plan, or a movie to the person sitting right in front of you. This content is not a duplicate of what you are seeing on the main screen.
