Good deal: Asus Taichi 11.6", dual display, 1080p, 128GB SSD

$629! 2.7 lbs and 0.6" thick. 11.6" is small but at 1080p and with a decent ULV ivy bridge i5 (and the SSD) it's probably a great performer (for non-intensive games). Touchscreen. Dual 1080p displays actually (glossy outside, matte inside), and I guess the back one is touch plus the N-trig digitizer (stylus optional).

Newegg had a better description: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 834230699R

They wanted $1,100 as an open box so $629 is quite the fire sale price.

Sadly I think the big Achilles heel is actually Asus and their support for this product. Though I always found these interesting and it's got a lot of interesting stuff packed in there for the price. The thing with the dual screens is, it's good if you believe you should never touch your laptop screen while it's operating as a laptop. I think that would actually bother me, because I touch my tablet's screen when I use it as a laptop.

Newegg has the 13.3" version for $850 w/ $50 promo code. A little faster CPU also.
