ASUS Tablet PC: ASUS Eee PC T91 | ASUS Eee PC T101H | ASUS Eee Pad » T91

Multi-touch tablet T91MT by ASUS is shipping now

Heather — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:21:17 +0000

A few months ago we were already reporting that in addition to the T101MT, we expected a multi-touch version of the Asus Eee PC T91 to be produced soon. Problems with the high demand for the T91 created a great shortage in inventory in the last few months. ASUS has upped its production and stocks seem to have been re-supplied now at Amazon. A week ago, pre-ordering started and now finally the T91MT has arrived along with the new batch of T91’s.

The ASUS Eee PC T91MT runs Windows 7, which is almost completely designed for touch-screen devices. Like its sibling the T91, it holds a 1.33 Ghz Intel Atom Z520 processor with 1GB of RAM. For more, read the T91MT specifications. Unlike some reports in the blogosphere, the T91MT does NOT have a pressure sensitive screen but does have palm rejection. Palm rejections means the device does not accept the touch of your handpalm as a touch input but it does accept the stylus and your seperate fingers as input. This makes it possible to use the T91MT as a notepad.

T91MT specifications

The latest addition to the ASUS Eee PC family is the T91MT. It is a multi-touch version of the ASUS’s first tablet, the T91. Its specifications are similar.

“The Eee PC™ T91MT measures just 225cm by 164cm, and weighs a mere 0.96kg—making it one of the smallest and thinnest gadgets with an 8.9″ display in the world today. The Eee PC™ T91MT is the one of the first mini laptops to use a full multi-touch interface, supporting Microsoft Windows 7.”

Multi-touch ASUS Eee PC T91MT and T101P leaked

Heather — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:32:35 +0000

Update: ASUS Eee PC T91MT was confirmed a few weeks ago and is now up for purchase on Amazon.

An industry insider has just leaked the roadmap for the upcoming line-up of ASUS Eee PC products for the next year. Apart from several new Eee PCs, it contains news on the future of the ASUS Eee PC T91.

Apparently ASUS has not decided to scrap the T91 altogether but instead follow it up with a multi-touch version, called the T91MT (not the T91A as reported before). It sports a 32Gb SSD (solid state drive) and its price will be at $549 or around EUR 399.

Additionally, the roadmap also contains the Asus Eee PC T101P. This is the first time we hear it being called P instead of H. Does the P stand for the Intel PineTrail spec? We’ll hear later. The T101P will be released in 2010. Under the hood, it will sport a standard Atom N450 processor, Pine Trail and running Windows 7. That sounds like a winner to us!

Problems on the ASUS Eee PC T91 with playing video on YouTube, Vimeo and other video websites where playback would quickly start lagging are reportedly solved by simply using Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Explorer. The CPU still needs to run on full power though, German blog TouchMeMobile reports in a new and exclusive unboxing video of the device. The T91 is expected to be available in retail stores in Germany in September 2009. A translation of the article is available here.
