The new Asus Eee Pad Transformer only recently went on sale, and now it seems that Asus are working on the Eee Pad Transformer 2. It is rumored to launch in 2012 and will reportedly come with Windows 8.
According to French site Les Numeriques, Asus let the information slip at this year’s Computex. They were told that, in addition to an Android version of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2, there would also be a Windows 8 version. This revelation has sparked significant interest among tech enthusiasts and industry experts alike, as it suggests a versatile approach to the tablet market by Asus.
Design and Build
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 is also said to be thinner and lighter than the existing version, somewhere between the current Transformer and the slimmer current version of the Eee Slider. This design evolution is expected to make the device more portable and user-friendly, catering to the growing demand for lightweight and sleek tablets. The original Eee Pad Transformer was already praised for its innovative design, which included a detachable keyboard that transformed the tablet into a laptop-like device. The Transformer 2 is expected to build on this concept, possibly featuring an even more refined and durable hinge mechanism.

The Transformer 2 is likely to feature a more powerful processor, possibly from the latest line of Nvidia Tegra or Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, to handle the demands of Windows 8 and provide a smooth user experience.
In terms of display, the Transformer 2 might come with a higher resolution screen, potentially offering Full HD or even higher, to cater to the increasing demand for better visual quality in tablets. Enhanced battery life is another anticipated improvement, as users continue to seek devices that can last through a full day of use without needing a recharge.
Connectivity options are also expected to be robust, with the inclusion of USB-C ports, HDMI output, and possibly even support for 5G networks, making the Transformer 2 a future-proof device. Additionally, the tablet is likely to feature improved cameras, both front and rear, to meet the needs of video conferencing and photography enthusiasts.
