The Zenbook UX301 and 302, MeMoPad 8 and 10, TF701T and Transformer Book Trio are set to be available in the UK as of November 2013.
The Zenbook UX301 and UX302 are ASUS’ new flagship Ultrabooks. Both have a sleek glass finish in the form of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with Native Damage Resistance. The 13.3-inch display features 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution and a 10 point multi-touch fingertip control system. It runs Windows 8 on a 4th generation Intel Core processor and optional 512GB RAID0 SSD storage turbo-charges performance.
The Fonepad Note 6 is the latest Android tablet with the features of a smartphone. The 6-inch tablet has a Full HD Super IPS+ display with multi-touch and stylus input, powered by the new Intel Atom Z2580 processor. Designed for smartphone users who prefer a larger screen, Fonepad features built-in HSPA+ 3G for telephone calls and mobile internet.
Similarly, the Fonepad 7 is a great solution for people who want smartphone features with a tablet-sized screen. Fonepad 7 is an updated version of the 7-inch Android device, offering a new non-slip finish and faster HSPA+3G with up to 42Mbit/s download speeds.
The ASUS MeMo Pad 8 and MeMo Pad 10 tablets have an 8-inch and 10-inch screen, respectively. Both feature a 1280 x 800 resolution with IPS technology, plus high-quality dual speakers with ASUS SonicMaster audio for high-quality sound. Designed for easy one-handed use, MeMo Pad 8 measures just 127mm from side to side and weighs 350g, but its 8-inch display gives 30% more screen space than a 7-inch tablet. MeMo Pad 10 is equally portable, at just 522g.
The ASUS Transformer Book T300 is a 13.3-inch laptop with a detachable Full HD display that can be used as a standalone Windows 8 tablet.

Transformer Book Trio is powered by a 4th generation Intel Core processor in Windows 8 laptop mode, but the 11.6-inch display detaches from the ‘PC Station’ keyboard dock for use as an Android tablet with its own Intel Atom dual-core processor. The dock can then also be used as an independent Windows 8 desktop PC when connected to an external monitor.
