Mysterious ASUS P1801-T visits the FCC, might be the finished Transformer AiO

The [FCC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/FCC) sometimes gets a peek at hardware and reveals nothing but a model number to hint at what's passed through its labyrinth. The latest filing leaving us scratching our heads is for the ASUS P1801-T, a "tablet" which could be the final version of the [Transformer AiO prototype](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/asus-transformer-aio/) we saw back at [Computex](http://www.engadget.com/tag/computex2012). How did we arrive at the AiO? Well, the model number is a possible clue -- [ASUS' Eee Slate B121](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/asus-eee-slate-b121-slabs-it-up-for-the-enterprise-market/) has a 12.1-inch panel, so P1801-T may point to this device having 18 inches of screen. As ASUS' dual-OS prototype all-in-one is the only (_sort of_) tablet we've seen with roughly that many inches, we assume the company is getting paperwork done before a proper launch at [CES 2013](http://www.engadget.com/tag/ces2013). A "P1801" running Android 4.1.1 has also popped up at _GLBenchmark_, with Tegra 3 graphics and thus a Cortex-A9 CPU inside by default. If ASUS is keeping two OS's as per the AiO prototype, that processor caters for only one Microsoft product -- [Windows RT](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/microsoft-surface-rt-review/). We'll just be kept wondering until we hear something official, but at least for us, an 18-inch Android / RT super-tablet and part-time desktop sounds like it could be a hard sell.
