Ultrabook or Infinity tab

[goodfella44]

So I'm in need of a new device soon, and am looking for some direction on whether to go with an ultrabook or with the asus infinity.

I like that the infinity can be used as a tablet/laptop, but don't like the small screen size. My perfect device would be a 12-13 inch ultrabook with a detachable touch screen. Is there anything like this that may be coming soon?

There's a W8 Transformer Book coming from Asus as well.

You need to identify what you want to do with the device though.

How soon will Asus release that one? Will it have HD screen and be available in more than a 10 inch screen?

Basically I like to watch videos, browsing, light word processing, music management/encoding, maybe play some games? I also would like to have usb charging (currently charge phone off laptop periodically), and high quality screen.

Thanks in advance!

How did I not see this! I think I peed my pants a little when I saw those! Any idea of when those beauties are going to be released?

There isn't a hard date yet, since MS doesn't have a hard release date for W8 yet.

When you say you NEED a device do you really mean it?
Cuz my business school NEEDS me to get a laptop that runs Windows 7 and Office 2010. So I already know what my NEEDS are.

What are YOUR needs?

Oh man I would love to get my hands on one of those right now! I don't know if I can wait that long. Those look sick! So nasty!

Thanks for the link

Best bet is October.

Yeah, I've wanted one since their announcement as well. I was kicking around a transformer prime until these were announced and I'll gladly pay ultrabook prices for a full windows transformer tablet. I'm excited.
