Asus has named Project Precog to a laptop that uses artificial Intelligence (AI) in its system. The high-tech detects exactly what you need from the device. For instance, if you place your hands over the second display, and you need a keyboard, the AI will detect it and offer a virtual keyboard. Also, it will offer you other features, such as video windows or small chats.
Some SPECS for the Asus Precog:
- Dual Screen
- Can be used as a tablet
- Supports Intel’s Movidius VPU powered by AI technology
- Multi-package vision: stand mode, book mode, tent mode, flat mode.
- Sport 4K OLED dual touch displays.
- Intelligence Touch
- Stylus mode with AI support
- Windows Cortana, Amazon Alexa, Microsoft Office 360
So, What is the Asus Precog?
The Asus Precog is a dual-screen laptop with no physical keyboard. The Asus Precog is a full convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge that joins the two displays, providing twice the screen space of traditional laptops. You can either work with an extended screen or a customizable interactive interface.
In addition, it has four modes: Stand, Book, Tent, and Flat. But one of the most interesting uses of the Asus Precog is as a dual-screen desktop replacement that is also mobile. This hybrid laptop provides flexibility, expandability, and increased productivity. For instance, you connect a physical keyboard and have both screens standing up in a portrait mode.
Asus hasn’t revealed many more details about the hardware specs, like CPU, GPU, and screen resolutions. However, we know that Asus Precog supports Cortana and Alexa. Both can be used simultaneously on different screens. Moreover, it supports the Intel Movidius VPU (Vision Processing Unit) to streamline and optimize your work with AI tools.
Release Date and Price
The Asus Precog was first presented as a prototype at the Computex 2018 in Taiwan, and is expected to be launched in 2020. But the release got pushed back due to Microsoft’s delayed delivery of Windows 10X (now cancelled). As a result, Asus does not have a set date, but all seem to point to it being at the end of the year. Naturally, no word on the cost as of yet, but given the innovative hardware, a high price tag is to be expected.
Final Word
As you can see, the Asus Precog is a testament to high-end computing, and we are eager to test it. However, fancy hardware and AI support mean this piece of technology won’t be affordable.
