Tech: Asus x Padfone Hybrid Tablet

It's rare, with technology forever changing right before our eyes, that we are a.ctually impressed with a new invention. Multinational computer manufacturer ASUS introduces the "Padfone," a device consisting of a touchscreen smartphone and a tablet dock.

"On its own, the phone functions conventionally, but it can also be inserted into a built-in dock on the back of the tablet. When connected, the phone effectively serves as processor for the larger screen, with all smartphone features and functions accessible on the tablet, solving the need for data transfer back and forth between devices. display switching is done automatically upon docking, so that apps and documents open on the phone will be instantly expanded onto the tablet screen. the dock also features a larger battery from which the cellphone can recharge." - Highsnobiety
