While the Transformer Book line itself is not new, this Chi series is, and these devices are available in three sizes: 8.9, 10.1 and 12.5 inches. The Chi models differ from previous Transformer Books in that they are made of aluminium instead of plastic, and some use Intel's high-end new Core M processor.
