The video provides a hands-on overview from Computex 2013, focusing on several high profile ASUS products and how they fit into the evolving landscape of mobile and desktop computing. It begins with the Memopad 302 and Memopad HD7, highlighting the key differences such as LTE versus Wi-Fi models, and the impressive 1920x1200 IPS displays on both tablets. The presenter discusses the Memopad 302’s Intel Atom z2560 processor at 1.6 GHz, which enables an all-day 10 hour battery life, and emphasizes the value of a high resolution screen on a compact device despite the low price point on the HD7. This section stresses design tradeoffs between metal backs and plastic to manage fingerprints and heat, and notes the availability of multiple color options. The narrative then shifts to the Transformer Book Trio, described as a three-in-one notebook, tablet, and desktop PC. The host explains three distinct use cases: a Windows notebook with up to a fourth generation Haswell Core i7, a detachable Android tablet with an Intel Atom processor and up to 64 GB of flash storage, and a standalone Android/Windows hybrid lifestyle with a flexible docking setup. The discussion includes performance expectations, such as hybrid drive storage for the notebook, and the practical implications of using a Windows desktop experience alongside a portable Android tablet. Finally, the PQ321 4K LCD monitor is presented as a dramatic centerpiece with dual HDMI inputs and a DisplayPort option, featuring a Sharp Ex- reflective panel and Gorilla Glass 3 on the upper surfaces. The host analyzes the challenges of 4K content, including motion handling, input latency, and the premium price point, while also expressing enthusiasm for the potential gaming and productivity benefits of a large, ultra-high-resolution display. The overall takeaway is that ASUS is pushing for versatile, high-end devices that blend portability with desktop-level capabilities, while Computex 2013 serves as a platform to reveal and test new display technologies and premium ultrabooks.
