ASUS T101MT video reviews

Heather — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:53:01 +0000

The Asus Eee PC T101MT has been out for a month or so now and the response to it has been mixed.

The T101MT’s sturdy build quality, slick looks and small size are appreciated but its touch screen response is lacking in many respect. The touch screen requires a hard press to respond. The combination of slow performance and bad touch screen response make things worse, as sometimes the user simply does not know if the device actually received the finger touch or not.

ASUS announces Windows 7 tablet, besides Eee Pad

Heather — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 21:44:15 +0000

In addition to the forthcoming ASUS Eee Pad which is released in July and will run Android, ASUS will also be releasing a Windows 7-enabled tablet.

ASUS is like everyone else unsure about what direction the market is moving in and betting on two horses. The difference is really between running a lightweight but limited web-focused operating system like the iPhone OS or Android vs. running heavyweight operating systems that run advanced software applications like Windows 7 and Mac OSX do.

The question is what the people that buy these things want. Just browsing and running basic applications from the app stores, or actually doing advanced work.

Due to the nature of Windows 7, it’s to expect that ASUS will come with a higher-spec device than the Eee Pad.

Industry insiders report that ASUS will be launching a new device named the Eee Pad in the 3rd quarter of 2010. The device which will look similar to ASUS’ latest T91 offering, albeit without a keyboard and will sport a 4 to 7-inch capacitive touch screen display with multi-touch as well as haptic feedback.

The device will be directly competing against the Apple Tablet which has just been delayed until the 2nd quarter of 2010.

More details to follow up in a few hours.

ASUS Eee PC T101H specifications announced, “final” says anonymous source

Heather — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:00:20 +0000

On Wednesday, an anonymous source confirmed to Asus Tablet the final specifications of the Asus Eee PC T101H netbook tablet. It is the sister tablet to the ASUS Eee PC T91 (whose models have been confirmed on Tuesday) and the biggest difference between the two is the size.

The T101H will appeal to more advanced users as it sports a 10.1″ screen as opposed to the T91’s 9″ screen. It is not clear if the T101H will have the same amount of variations as the T91 but we can only hope, or should we? The specifications right now show the T101H to have the same specs as the most upscale models of the T91, the ASUS Eee pC T91, the ASUS Eee pC T91go and the ASUS Eee pC T91A (the unknown but possible T91Ago)

It holds a full GPS chip, 3G abilities and a multi-touch interface. To make you even more exited, here’s a hands-on video with the T101H:

According to ASUS UK, the T101H is expected in the end of August 2009, or early September 2009.

Tell us which tablet netbook you would now choose, in the comments.

Update: ASUS UK confirmed to us the anonymous source is not correct about this information, as the specifications are not even known by them.

Fujiyama E-1005 and E-1001 said to be “inspired by Asus Eee PC T91 and T101H”

Heather — Sat, 16 May 2009 14:25:33 +0000

Asus seems to single-handedy be creating a whole new product segment. Like they did by being one of the first producing the early netbooks and starting a trend for other manufacturers like Acer, HP and Dell to follow. Now they are doing it again with their tablet netbooks T91, T101H. They are not even out yet, but already other manufacturers are inspired to jump in.

The demand for a small compact 8″ to 11″ swivelling netbook with a touchscreen is expected to be huge. It bridges the the gap between touch phones like the iPhone, HTC Touch and XPeria and netbooks/laptops without any touch functionality. Especially with costs of touchscreens decreasing rapidly (just look at the modded netbooks with $100 touchscreens already), manufacturers are enthusiastic to go for it.

Here’s two of the first tablet netbooks other than Asus’s that will be available soon, they are by Chinese manufacturer Fuyijama (related to Fuji?):
