The CES 2014 featured some interesting announcements in the laptops category, with most of the companies showcasing their all-in-one, convertible and hybrid devices. While regular laptops continue to sell of course, manufacturers are quite obviously focusing on form factors that try to offer the best of two worlds, whilst trying to provide both portability and productivity.
While most of the laptops and hybrids introduced ran Windows 8.1, devices based on alternative operating systems also featured prominently, with ChromeOS and even Android OS-based products gracing the show floors. Here, we've rounded up some of the biggest announcements in the category from CES 2014.
Asus at CES announced the launch of the new convertible, 2-in-1 laptop, the Transformer Book Duet (TD300), running Windows 8.1 and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The Transformer Book Duet will be available from March, starting at $599 (roughly Rs. 37,300). Asus calls it the first-ever 'quad-mode' laptop and tablet convertible, and like the original Transformer, this too features a detachable keyboard dock. The Transformer Book Duet's 13-inch display comes with 1366x768 pixel resolution, though it can be bumped up to full-HD in the $699 (Rs. 43,500) or higher options. The base model features 64GB of built-in storage, though top-end models can ordered with up to 1TB of storage, which will be housed in the keyboard dock - which also features additional ports. The TD300 is powered by an Intel 'Haswell' Core i7 processor.




Also introduced at CES was the LG all-in-one (AIO) PC (Model 27V740), featuring a 27-inch IPS display and is based on Windows 8.1. It is powered by an unspecified Intel Core processor, and also features the Nvidia's GeForce GT 740M graphics card.
