Tablet mode - Close the lid and TAICHI instantly be becomes a tablet with an 11.6 inch or 13.3 inch Full HD display.

Mirror Mode - TAICHI is more than just a mere table or notebook - mirror mode offers a unique way to share information. Mirror mode shows the same image on both back-to-back screens, so it’s perfect for showing a presentation without the need for a bulky projector or clumsy external monitor, or sharing a movie without worrying about where everyone will sit. IPS technology gives a wide 178° viewing angle.

Dual Screen Mode - In Dual Screen mode, TAICHI is no longer one computer - it’s two. Each back-to-back screen can be used separately with different apps: one with the keyboard and multi-touch touchpad; the other with the multi-touch screen and stylus.
