"ASUS today announced Transformer Book Chi Series, a family of beautifully-engineered, razor-thin 2-in-1 Windows detachables, offering the unrivalled convenience of a powerful laptop that transforms seamlessly into a handy tablet whenever needed," the company touted in a press release on Tuesday, Jan. 6. "Transformer Book Chi is fast but silent, featuring a fanless design powered by up to Intel Core M processors, for amazing performance that gives users the freedom to work and play with effortless mobility - anywhere, anytime."

The highest-end model in the new ASUS Transformer Book Chi is the T300, which sports a 12.5-inch display and packs an Intel Core M processor under the hood.
