LAS VEGAS: Taiwan’s AsusTek Computer Inc plans to start selling an array of Tablet computers — including hybrids that sit somewhere between a laptop and a Tablet — with the hope that variety is the best weapon against Apple Inc’s iPad and other similar gadgets.
Asus chairman Jonney Shih unveiled the new devices ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show here. These included the Eee Pad Transformer, which is a laptop that splits in two to function as a Tablet, and the Eee Pad Slider, a Tablet with a keyboard that slides out of its left side.
