Under the cut more.
Android 4.1 and Windows 8.1 are installed on the device at the same time. Switching between them is done by pressing one button, which is called Instant Switch. According to the statements, the device “transforms” in just 4 seconds.
Specifications of ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300:
