Companies each and everyday are trying to save more money on computer hardware and decrease the cost to power them without losing performance. Technology has evolved becoming smaller, cheaper and faster also while allowing users great versatility and portability. The amount of tablets purchased has increased while the amount of desktop computers has decreased. Tablets are not as fast and do not have the same amount of storage, but are portable and cost less. On the other hand, desktops have surperior performance and storage space, but cost more and are not very portable. What if you could have a all-in-one-device that is not only a desktop computer, but also doubles as a tablet device.

The device that I found is called the ASUS Transformer AiO P1801 all of the system components are contained within the 18.4in monitor no need for a tower also it is fully touch screen. The monitor doubles as a detachable tablet which uses Android 4.1. Some of the features of the ASUS Transformer AiO P1801 are as followed:
