The Asus T91MT is probably the first convertable multi touch netbook, with a stylus that actually works well. I’ve held off the review of this product about a week in anticipation of the Apple ipad, and I can now safely say that this device is superior to it, in almost every aspect. 32gb SSD pcie card, 1GB ram, touch screen, stylus interaction, SD card slots, usb ports, microphone, and built in web cam all standard. All for just around $550 (now $500). See www.defcon-5.com for the written review and a link to purchase the product. Remember purchasing products through my site gives me a small commission fee that lets me purchase more products for review.
Does the tablet stylus use wacom penabled technology or something else?
0,3 MP
how good is the webcam? how many mp is it?
the only thing i see it missing is a disk drive.,
I got it from NewEgg. If you use the link on my site I get a small commission from it, which I use to buy more products for future reviews.
where did you get this from?
@al1432 I should probably do a follow up review on this product. Yes, I have found that the virtual keyboard will sometimes disappear when you delete all the text in a field, or use control key combinations. Also oddly enough Google apps works horrid with the virtual keyboard, but all other apps run fine. Chrome just hates the virtual keyboard completely, and Firefox will sometimes not give you the keyboard icon.
I placed the icon in the taskbar to fix these issues.
Great review, probably the best I’ve seen on YouTube so far, thanks! I would have liked to see the tablet virtual keyboard in action a bit more. Does it ever hide the form you are trying to type into? Thanks again.
It is actually pretty responsive I think.
There is a very small delay between the start of scrolling I’ve noticed, but I don’t think it’s an OS problem as much as the processor.
The pinch, zoom, and scrolling are all built into Win 7 in all flavors (except starter/basic).
A friend has a HP tablet that uses the same tech, but faster processor in his and it does’nt have that small lag.
From your video the screen response looks terrible, when you do the pinch it doesn’t follow your fingers but seems to guess a random amount to zoom after you’ve done the gesture. Is that processing delay? Seems the same when scrolling, really jerky. Really want a tablet, but I don’t think I could put up with that. I wonder if XP would be any better?
@sbarbell Thanks I appreciate the feedback
@ysabsovi Lots of little things I just can’t say in a 10 minute period. I’m getting better at cramming it in. Just waiting for YouTube to approve me for partner status
I like you video (esp the notes on the screen). good job! I cant wait to get mine (its in the mail)!!!
Great Reveiw, I hope to get mine soon.
I think the model my friend has is the TM2, we compared them when I got this one, and we agree the Asus is better. The HP has horrid battery life. With the palm detection we found that both worked about the same. The HP did’nt seem to be able to turn off the touch screen when the pen was in use (I did’nt have much time to fool with it to see if it had an option).
I generally have little issue with the pen input, but it might be how I am writting on it.
i havnt used this one, but am somewhat worried about it not having a digitized pen option…so if u write and your palm hits, it will mess everything up. Ive used devices like that before. Heard the palm rejection on this thing is not very good.
I like my wacom graphics tablet, as you can have your palm all over it and it only registeres the pen. Only other option with min money is the tm2 from hp, but ive heard bad things with that thing and heat.
Yes you can use the stylus to write using MS Journal viewer, MS word, or if you just like pen input you can select pen input instead of the onscreen keyboard to input text and data.
does it have a function that i can write on it? like those sony ebook readers?
This is what the iPad should have been, a full powered desktop OS in a tablet format. However instead they give us just a large iPod. Now don’t get me wrong, they can now make special tablet applications for the iPad only now, and it will have potiential then, but it’s like unneccessarily limiting themselves.
great video…this is way bette rthan ipad cause it has flash support
I tried this the other day, I made the title bar like 5 pixels bigger and the scroll bars as well and now it’s spot on and looks just about the same.
@MikeDrevious I can’t believe I did’nt think of trying that before… /duh I’ll have to make a custom profile/theme for the tablet and post it up when I get a chance.
Thanks for the idea.
If you search “Window color and metrics” you can open up the windows color and appearance menu to change things like active title bar size (making it easier to press the close button and such)
@arni0202 I will, be sure to subscribe as well so you don’t miss it. YouTube is horrible on sending email notifications on conversation updates.
@DefconComputers if you do that link it here or something I wanna make sure I see it
I have one of these. Pretty good little package. Ran a little sluggish at first install but adding a gig of ram and uninstalling all the gimmick bloatware made it pretty good for a eee. I have it almost permanently in tablet mode without the keyboard in use.
I’ll try to answer a few of your Qs…
The on screen keyboard is ok although it’s missing F1, F2, ect. It is re-sizable and always on top, so it doesn’t disappear. It can be accessed by a small tab pinned to the side of the screen – I have it at thumb position of the hand holding the pad. Works well.
There are some Firefox extensions available which will improve the touch and zoom support when web browsing.
Hand writing recognition works surprising well, even with my chick scratch. The input box is quite intuitive and a viable option instead of the on-screen keyboard. Bundled Journal software is good and includes convert to text and pressure sensitivity. Decent for art also.
Video runs flawlessly in full screen, however with r-click menus open there is some chop (VLC).
Palm suppression for all intensive purposes is non-existent.
