Taichi 21 looks pretty much like a normal laptop, but performs operations much faster. The device has a dual HD screen – it functions as a desktop PC when the lid is open. It is easy to use this device as an all-encompassing Ultrabook. The device can be used as a tablet by keeping the lid closed. So, the flexibility to operate as a desktop PC and as a tablet is one of the key features of the Taichi 21.

There is a blue hot key – by pressing it, you can let the dual-screen operate in four distinctive modes: Tablet Mode, Notebook Mode¸ Dual Screen Mode, and Mirror Mode.

Cons:
  • Battery dies out much faster because of the use of dual screens

  • The device is high-priced for the normal users – It’s better for moderate users to purchase any of the high-end gaming systems that are available in the market. The Taichi is definitely priced higher than most of its competitors
