Not content to launch another 2-in-1 hybrid, ASUS today announced the ASUS Transformer Book V, a computer which combines a 5-inch phone, a 12.5-inch tablet, and a keyboard dock into a system which can serve as an Android phone, an Android tablet, a Windows tablet, a Windows laptop or an Android laptop. Where other dual-OS devices such as the ASUS Transformer Book Trio have fallen afoul of both Google and Microsoft, ASUS ingeniously gets around any licensing restrictions by putting all of the Android hardware and software on the phone and all of the Windows hardware and software on the tablet, which displays the phone's Android environment as a remote desktop.
