ASUS is all about creating new mobile products that transform, and their latest creation is large enough to rival Unicron. The ASUS Transformer AiO (all in one), is a dual-booting 18.4-inch computablet. Unveiled at Computex 2012, the Transformer AiO is equipped with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, 18.4-inch screen, and can switch between Windows 8 and Android 4.0 operating systems effortlessly.

It’s that time again, time to see what kind of progress Ice Cream Sandwich has made in the past month. Well, the good news: it’s up 2.2% points.
