Waiting for the Asus Taichi 8GB Memory option. How long will it take? Would buy one right away if the option was available.

Too much for an Atom processor… 199$ for the docking station!??!
And the Asus Transformer Book? How much?! 1599$?!??

From ASUS site, “The TAICHI is as light and thin as the ASUS ZENBOOK™ and delivers uncompromised mobile performance, with 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors, fast SSD storage and dual band 802.11n Wi-Fi”
So, it is much more that a WindowsRT or ATOM based computer. Feel free to post FUD otherwise, but this is a Windows 8 Pro x86 capable device.

this looks like a rumor spreading on the internet intended to derail windows 8 before it is released.

TAICHI uses N-Trig which is just garbage. I had an HP 2740p tablet PC with Wacom and I thought THAT was a little finnicky around the edges. Then I got a Dell Latitude XT3 (wanted Sandy Bridge and 16GB RAM and it was cheap) but shit N-Trig SUCKS really bad. I wish I had put in the extra money and paid for the 2760p with Wacom. I would have considered the Taichi if it wasn’t for N-Trig.

Hopefully they still plan on releasing the transformer books with Wacom. Also hopefully they have an 8GB RAM option. Otherwise Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro is going to kick ASUS’ ass.

Hopefully mis-informed, especially as Asus is supposed to be collaborating with Nvidia to bring ARM chipset prices down.
Additionally, this is from the OEM that gave us an Android tablet at sub $200 prices?! That said, Asus transformer prices are somewhat pricey?!

If accurate though , then goodbye market share, except maybe for the Taichi.

over priced for RT devices. But cmon you guys, were you really picking a Asus Tab RT over MSFTs Surface RT when they’re released?

THis better be wrong. These tablets just won’t sell at those prices. Not encouraging at all.
