You're a half ago I saw one of these cases devices back at Intel and I thought now this is cool with all these new products flooding the market.
How will consumers decide.
Let's ask -- -- chairman Johnny Sheehy joins us now -- -- Fox Business exclusive I have wanted you to come to the network for so long.

And the first thing that you're going to show was this something that I find just unbelievable our producer called when -- such that you gotta see this thing it's called -- -- yes.
Talbots has been incredible -- you don't know Morgan tablet.
Senate to shoot this one yeah okay so actually know this is very hopeful new book back Alexander book.
But if you -- that you know.
Actually it's -- -- -- -- -- -- -- So you can see become a tablet and you can actually see you know yeah -- -- pictures here all my -- -- and that has touch screen windows it capability unless of course everything in the window mostly you know he'll flip it back to do so you can see you know -- -- So as you flip it back to what was then become -- -- -- windows yelling this seats out and then when I know about.
You wanna back to more of a laptop type situation here Jeff come closer so you can see the actual -- -- here.
Yes absolutely fabulous how much does this retail for.
This is a stuff from -- recognize OK but while -- was going yes.
Now obviously the price point gets people concerned because they think of tablets and I think 70600.
About the many I've had a smaller this of course is something different because it goes into that laptop version of that but.
When you when you think about who this is four -- -- is targeting the you know the the really.
Truly pulp for notebook and tablet at the same time but think -- -- actually you know the wonderful work and play.
And this is we spoke with the windows you know and X 864 competitors like news that -- fine.
This -- just absolutely -- she herself and it is Hamas is away.
It's only one point two to win this.
Beautiful beautiful and and when you move on to this one that this is the transformer.
Yes show us how it transforms.
Okay.
So you can see this is a very powerful new book but actually no way you -- -- it's.
Just press the button and that becomes the two haven't done -- that was in almost -- for you know hot tablet thinness and like -- -- I seven.
Tablet.
So with X 86 in windows will compatibility see I'm thinking.
Here in the hotel room you need a laptop and then you run into the scene of these whatever as the conference -- -- -- -- halfway down tuned to tap that you -- such -- -- price point on this one.
Actually this one.
-- -- -- -- -- Yes you have partnered with Microsoft obviously -- here's when does -- Microsoft came out with the surface of -- reviews everywhere but then of course there is apple you cannot ignore.
That behemoth that is apple and so I'm just wondering as you look at something like this show people your actual pure play tablet.
How are you going to convince someone like me to go with this vs an iPad.
-- friend -- be in this actually is not be -- even know what looks like get this actually you know.
Is a small -- okay.
And what does -- -- Okay for example you know this is actually the -- per hole for pact compact when we go from true and I would to pull -- Portend a fifteen.
Processor -- very -- for the -- -- for the top holding a benchmark.
But you moved them the most magical -- is actually know when you blew this.
And it just switches around.
Just beautiful and then you connected in -- extra ha -- a paucity.
Sticker right in there and it will come out here and I.
OK and it actually this one altogether you know.
Even my two of the new -- half -- so -- -- you look at that you say okay I'm gonna trying to steal at least -- you want of these items yes.
You're gonna try and steal some of that core customer away from apple.
What are you seeing in the landscape right now -- and know how does that mean what basis starts with -- -- but obviously it's not apple.
How does it get more traction here in the United States.
Credit them.
But but there.
Yeah you know -- -- -- -- you know.
Starting from a very -- -- the company and we have we have very -- old technology but -- -- -- -- -- driving this will quarter is I think can.
This kind of you know -- pathology and -- always tried to drive the best innovations around for all of you -- -- question all.
I think so because I think no this is a very important transition time from from the previous personal computing -- We don't think you -- this couple didn't ever so need a lot of innovation.
So I think based on all very strong foundation of that.
Technology and then we have tribunals.
Is and thinking methodology.
Driving the best -- happened is two point zero.
We always -- to provide the best you know so I think we have -- would -- you know.
We have we have to go but let me just quickly ask you the multiple that you have -- there's the -- book -- RT RT is the adoption of that are people buying as many as you -- hoped yes.
I think so your numbers are reaching your expectation of course yet hasn't expect -- Actually you know beyond all expectation and beyond and all of those -- you know is that exchanged numbers and book.
Even you know more magical in more innovative side and that's why we have such a confidence that we have.
Enough -- well very ago the global tablet market share they are number four.
Big name basis and of course this the type seen with -- The screen the laptop and that of flips over into a tablet great ideas thank you competition is good Johnny C -- -- Ashley which.
