Asus has just announced the Taichi laptop / tablet hybrid at Computex 2012 in Taipei. Essentially a laptop with a display on both sides of its lid, the Taichi features either dual 13.3-inch or 11.6-inch IPS HD displays, an Ivy Bridge Core i7 processor, 4GB of RAM, SSD storage, two USB 3.0 ports, Micro HDMI, mini DisplayPort, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and "HD" front-facing camera.
Its external screen is capable of multitouch and supports stylus input. When closed the Taichi functions like a regular Windows 8 tablet, and you'll find a dedicated Windows 8 button, hardware volume keys, and a rotation lock toggle on the side. The Taichi is also NFC-enabled, and will be able to run Android apps through the BlueStacks app launcher.
