ASUS Transformer AiO P1801 Available, Can Be Yours For Only $1,299


Hey, you got your Jellybean in my Windows 8! No, you got your Windows 8 in my Jellybean! The ASUS Transformer AiO probably isn't as tasty as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but it will have a slimming effect... On your wallet. You may remember this odd tablet-meets-PC from our previous coverage. In short, it's an 18.4" Android tablet that also plugs into a base unit running Windows 8. The screen can be toggled between the Android and Windows 8 modes when docked, and it includes SplashTop Remote Desktop for connecting to the base unit while roaming freely. Anyway, the flood gates are open and you can have one of your very own, provided you don't mind spending about $1,299.

Most retailers are selling the tablet-desktop hybrid for $1,299, but it can be found slightly cheaper at Rakuten (formerly Buy.com) for $1,269. Since the AiO's shipping time on Amazon is estimated at 3-5 weeks, even die-hard fans may want to consider a different source this time around.
