This review is from: ASUS Taichi21 Intel Core i5 3317U(1.70GHz) 4GB 128GB SSD HDD 11.6" FHD Touchscreen 2-in-1 Ultrabook/Tablet (Taichi21-DH51)
Pros:
It does in fact work. And when I say work, I mean operate. Forget actually taking it to work.
Sleek design.
Cons:
OK. Where I stated "taking it to work", here's what I mean.
The size of this thing is nice when mobile. In the office... you may want an additional monitor or two, Ethernet, etc..
Well you can get a dock. ASUS makes one.. but as soon as you commit to this thing, you cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1 you are now quite literally stuck with what you got. And I got 3 of these childish things.
with Windows 8.1 and having the dock driver installed, the Taichi21's most famous feature (tablet mode) no longer works correctly.
While tediously working with ASUS support this is the final outcome...
Direct from ASUS Support;
"TAICHI21, it does not support any dock station, it means there is a compatibility issue between the TAICHi21 and the HZ-1 dock, so it is not only a driver issue. You had better not connect the dock to the TAICHI21 for usage. And our engineer won't develop any new driver for this issue. Sorry if any inconvenience this case."
Great... $3600.00 (3 total) down the drain.
Overall Review:
Early adopter.... sometimes bites you
