Asus   always come up with the coolest multi-functional products. The best example is probably the PadFone - the phone that fits inside a tablet that comes with a stylus that's also a  Bluetooth headset  - but their latest big reveal is pretty incredible as well. It's called the Asus Transformer Book Trio , and as the name suggests it has three rather different operating modes. So to start off, we've got what looks to be a normal laptop computer, running Windows 8 on a new Intel Core i7 Haswell processor . There's a nice full HD 11.6-inch display with 10 finger touch support. And that's pretty cool by itself, but it gets  way  cooler. Flip a switch, and the Trio will swap to running Android instead, running off an entirely separate Intel Atom processor . Storage between the two modes is shared too, so you can edit a document on Windows then send it off on Android. So that's pretty cool, but it's not the only way that the Trio is crazy-awesome.
