    ASUS shows off teaser trailer for next "incredible thin" device

    ASUS recently showed off a teaser trailer video on their Facebook page regarding the next device which will be unveiled on 2 June 2014. This is in line with a pre-Computex 2014 event unveiling which could see a new slate or tablet being announced. The trailer highlights the words "thin" and "incredible" while using a pencil so we assume that it could be a thin tablet with a stylus. Could this be the next ASUS ViVoTab? Other sites are suggesting that it could be the ASUS PadFone X which is a tablet and smartphone combo but we also have not ruled out the recently unveiled Intel 64-bit powered ASUS MeMo Pad 8 which recently got unveiled in Japan. What do you think this "incredible thin" device could be?
