At its fullest , the Transformer Book V is a 12.5 - inch Windows laptop . Detach the keyboard , and it turns into a Windows tablet . Tug on the odd bulge at the back of the screenland , and you ’ll happen upon a 5 - inch Android phone — which you could use to power the tablet , too . Then reattach the keyboard and you have an Android laptop .
switch between operating systems is , apparently , as childlike as tapping the screen . In terms of specs , there ’s a 12.5 - inch HD IPS show , 64 - second Atom chip , 4 GB of RAM , a 28Wh barrage fire and 128 GB SSD on the Windows side ( plus up to to 1 TB as an HDD in the keyboard ) . As for the phone , it ’s 140 g , 11mm - buddy-buddy , packs a 2,500mAh battery plus 2 GB of RAM , up to 64 GB of depot and 8MP/2MP photographic camera . The Windows laptop can get at the phone ’s computer storage just like any other Android earpiece plugged into a Windows twist .
There ’s no word on pricing or availability . Nor , for that topic , on the sort of person that would really find the gadget useful . We might chance out about all three over clip .
