New Asus Device Runs Both Windows and Android

Posted by Unknown on from the double-the-vendor-lockin dept.

taz346 writes "Asus has unveiled a new 11.6-inch tablet/laptop that runs both Windows 8 and Android Jelly Bean side by side, the BBC reports. The firm said 'users would be able to synchronise data between the platforms in order to enjoy a "smooth transition" between each mode.' Hmmm, I'm guessing one could also create another partition and install a full Linux distro as well, though there's no telling how UEFI might come into play."

    Every article submitted to Slashdot must end with an inflammatory, baseless statement. It's the rules.

    Bonus points if the statement is about weaponisation or privacy concerns.
