The tablet portion of the computer houses a 128GB solid state disk. But there’s also a hard drive in the keyboard portion, which adds 320GB to 500GB of additional storage. You also get longer battery life when the tablet is docked to the keyboard, since there are batteries in both the tablet and keyboard. Asus hasn’t revealed the official price for the 13 inch Transformer Book yet, but MacMall has been taking orders for a model with a Core i7 CPU for $1430 for a while. Hopefully the official launch means more stores will carry the Transformer Book, and offer the cheaper Core i5 option.
