With Computex 2013 just around the corner next month, Asus are starting up the pre-hype engine by releasing appropriately named "We Transform" teaser trailers for the event. In what will be the first of five teaser videos for the Computex 2013, Asus show off what they've been working on, including the Asus Taichi, the Fonepad and the various Transformer Hybrid Laptops, Desktops and Tablets. People who have been keeping current and up to date with the Asus lineup can look and say "aha! I know what that is!".
