Asus To Launch Swivel-Screen Windows 8 Ultrabook

Asutek Computer is prepping up a new notebook, having combined features of both ultrabooks and tablet PCs. The upcoming Asus ultrabook will feature swivel-screen design and come equipped with Windows 8 OS, which Microsoft plans to unveil in September 2012.

The Asus ultrabook is designed to offer users the best of Microsoft Windows 8's new touchscreen tablet experience with an integrated Windows desktop interface.
As part of Intel's ultrabook promotion, the new netbook will combine features of ultrabooks and tablet PCs. The swivel-screen based device will be announced in partnership with Intel at the upcoming 2012 Computex Taipei event, reports Digitimes.

Borrowing design ideas from Intel, one of which suggests a swivel-screen enabled device, the upcoming Asus tablet PC will attract users once Ivy Bridge launches in May 2012. Reportedly, it is also expected that the demand for ultrabooks will gain momentum once the Ivy Bridge launch happens next year.

For those, who are eagerly expecting Android-based Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, here's another device to look forward to in the coming year.
