After showing you a short video of how the Eee PC T91MT performs especially its multitouch screen, here comes first comprehensive review the said tablet netbook. Kubel of myT91.info got a full review of the Eee PC T91MT and here are his major observations/conclusions so far.
Pros
Low-priced multitouch tablet.
Good build quality.
5 hour battery life was an unexpected surprise.
Very small and light.
GMA500 capable of some HD video decoding (with a few tweaks).
Cons
Battery is internal.
Stylus collapses during use.
Z520 offers less than stellar performance.
At a $523 price point, it would be pretty hard to decide whether you’d want to get this machine. But then, if you’re into innovation and looking for something new when it comes to netbook, the Eee PC T91MT is definitely a must buy. You can pre-order it now at Amazon.
So, have you pre-ordered your Eee PC T91MT at Amazon? Whether you did or not, you might want to check out this short demo of the Eee PC T91MT’s multi-touch functionality. As you can see from the video, that multi-touch feature is definitely a winner. Nothing can be cooler than the ability to control the different apps loaded in the Eee PT T91MT using one or two fingers.
I’m drooling right now, and hoping that this table netbook will be made available in the country where I am at a very affordable price. But I’m not counting on it, given the taxes that our government will imposed once it reached our soil.
Anyway, enjoy the video and if you haven’t ordered your Eee PC T91MT yet, this might help you decide.
If you didn’t pre-order the Eee PC T91MT when it went up at Amazon, here’s your chance to finally get it. Amazon now has some stocks of the said tablet netbook and guess what? It’s list price is now at $532 from the listed price when it was still in pre-order which was $549.
As a review, this tablet netbook is loaded with a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1GB of RAM (can be upgraded up to 2GB), 32GB SSD and 500GB free online EEE Storage, 8.9-inch touch LED LCD display with multi-touch functionality, Bluetooth, 5 hour battery life and of course Windows 7.
What are you waiting for? Go get this netbook baby now at Amazon.
Come January of next year at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Asus is expected to showcase a whole slew of exciting new devices along with a few old (already known) ones that also incite interest as excellent choices for mobile computing. Among those to be showcased are the company’s 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor powered netbooks, smartbooks and ultra-thin devices like their forthcoming Eee Reader and a few Google Android-based smartphones. Asus is also preparing 1.83GHz Intel Atom N470 netbooks but these aren’t going to be presented until CeBIT during another place and time. Still, we hope to learn more about all of these when we come to CES next year to cover the event live. Watch for it.
Without too much noise, Sony has upgraded its Sony VAIO P netbooks to make in tune with the requirements of Windows 7. To make it worthy of the new OS, Sony has also bumped the VAIO P’s specs.
So now you can get this ultraportable machine equipped with a 2 GHz Atom CPU, 256 GB SSD plus a champagne-colored shell. This puts the U.S. version of the Sony VAIO P at par with its Japanese counterpart.
The new models will start arriving Verizon shops sometime in November. It will set you back for around $1,900, if in case you’re keen to get one.
Looks like a mobile carrier has finally decided to take the expensive Sony Vaio P netbook. Words on the streets say that Verizon might actually offer the Sony Vaio P under its mobile data plan. If you would recall, Verizon currently has three netbooks under its fold – the Gateway LT2016U, HP Mini 311 and Mini 110.
If this rumor is true, the Sony Vaio P will actually be the smallest netbook under Verizon’s line-up.
What is not clear from though is whether the Sony Vaio P which Verizon will offer will be running Windows 7 since the rumored hard drive will be around 160GB. But the Sony Vaio P doesn’t have that capacity though.
The Sony Vaio P will be offered by Verizon for around $300 plus a two-year service agreement minus $100 rebate.
A couple of weeks ago, we reported that the Eee PC T91MT was already available for pre-order at the Amazon.de. But guess what? It’s also now available for pre-order at the Amazon U.S. site.
To make it more exciting for U.S. consumers, Asus has bumped up the SSD of this tablet netbook from 16GB to 32 GB. And of course it will still run Windows 7 Home Premium and will support multi-gesture function.
Other specs that you should look out for in the Eee PC T91MT include:
I’m not really fond of Archos and its PC Table product line. But when Archos announced that the future of netbooks is its Archos 9 PC Tablet I got curious to find out what this Tablet PC is as cool as what Archos described it to be.
So what are we looking at here? an 8.9-inch 1024×600 touchscreen display, Intel Atom 1.2GHz Atom Z515 processor, 1GB of RAM, 60GB of HDD and 25GB online storage, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and USB 2.0.
Did those sound appealing to you? If yes, well you’d be glad to know that the Archos 9 Tablet PC is now available for retail in the U.K. price tag is around $742.
Do you still think that it is a cool mobile device?
If you’re looking to upgrade from XP or Vista on your netbook, or perhaps you already have, then here’s some great news for you. Some netbook makers have already updated the driver download pages to include Windows 7 drivers which should work better than Vista drivers you may be using instead. Most Asus netbooks now have drivers for Windows 7 from their support page.
Other companies have updated their support pages but, not all companies support many netbook models. There is support from Toshiba for the NB205, while Acer are providing Windows 7 drivers for the Aspire One 751 and AOP531h with AOD250 to follow. Dell are listing drivers for the Mini 10v and Mini 10 but not the Inspiron Mini 9 or 12. HP on the other hand have support for discontinued netbooks, such as the HP Mini 2140. They’ve also got support for the 110, 5101 and other models. Lenovo have also updated their support page to include manuals but, no drivers yet. This could change soon though.
Remember that Eee PC T91 netbook with multi-touch function we told you about not so long ago? Well, it looks like Asus is pushing it to the market earlier than we expected. Digitimes is reporting that Asus is planning to release it in time for the release of Windows 7. The first Eee PC T91MT will have an 8.9-inch screen and another one with 10-inch screen is planned for a December release.
Now, while Digitimes is reporting this, Netbooknews.de is also reporting that the Eee PC T91MT is actually available for pre-order over at Amazon.de. The Dutch site promises to deliver the Eee PC T91MT on October 22 and price tag is around £ 505.98.
Among the specs listed on the site include – Intel Atom Z520 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM, 16GB HDD, Intel GMA 500, and Windows 7 Home Premium.
