A Good Buy that I dont regret!!!!, August 2, 2009
This review is from: Asus Eee PC T91 8.9-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Tablet Computer (Black), Windows XP, T91SA-VU1X-BK (Personal Computers)
I have enjoyed my Asus T91. At first when the reviews started coming out about this product, I was a little skeptical about my purchase. I bought this product the morning before all the reviews were released. Once I started seeing all the sub par reviews i started having seconds thoughts. I thought If I don't like it I'll exchange it or I'll resell on Ebay. I had to remember what I was getting this device for. I did not buy this for gaming or to do massive work projects or anything of that matter. If you are considering this or you review this product because of that factor then you wasted your money. This is a quick and easy product to pick up and use at any time. I surf the web, play small lil web games, and view movie clips online with this. I will use this to sum degree with my job because of the touch screen features, but I had to remember which most of the reviewers failed to do when I read the media reviews. Give examples on what net-books are for, which by now we should already know. Instead I think many people reviewed this as if you were using this to do all of your work( NOT ENTIRELY). Yes, the slower atom processor is disappointing but it goes back to your not running battlefield on this device. Like any device, there will be sluggish periods when loading things. I own a Desktop, and that is where I do majority of my work. I bought this with NET usage in mind. The touch screen is good, and the touch screen suite that was offered with this product is good but not great. The people that see this product when I show them. LOVE IT!! Its something new and something innovative. It is small but that's what I wanted. Once again if I wanted power and a bigger screen. I would use my desktop.
Battery- 5 Hours depending on what your doing.
Keyboard-Small but once you get use to it. Becomes very easy to use to a certain extent
Touch Screen- Good, and accurate, and the Stylus helps.
Overall the product has been a very good buy. I wish it was cheaper but it was worth the money I paid for it. Finger prints are very easy to see, but I am not complaining about that small gripe. I have enjoyed it, and the only reason why I would upgrade is to buy the 10inch version once it arrives. I have been wanting a laptop for a long time, and I felt with the touch screen and being a small device, that this was all I needed especially to carry around and do small business task later on this year for myself. I am not saying this a great device, but I am saying this was worth it for me and my usage.
I hope this helps anyone who is looking to buy this in the future

Not all that I had hoped for..., July 17, 2009
This review is from: Asus Eee PC T91 8.9-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Tablet Computer (Black), Windows XP, T91SA-VU1X-BK (Personal Computers)
I ordered the T91 the day it came available, and got it the next day ( 07/16/09 )via Amazon.
I went in understanding that this was a tiny machine, even by netbook standards, but the biggest problem for me is the OS. Now that I have used it for a day I wish I had waited for the Windows 7 version, or even Win XP tablet edition.
This machine comes with basic win XP, and that makes it somewhat hard to use in tablet form, due to the small screen size and relatively slow processor. Accurate finger tapping on a tiny screen like is sketchy at best in XP mode, although ASUS has its own GUI with a few icons that are not that useful.
Notepad has some potential, but trying to rest your hand on the screen when writing will leave marks on your notes.
The machine itself is very well made and pretty robust, with a solid pivot for the screen and lot of ports for whatever you need to plug in. The only complaint I have about the hardware itself is the screen - even at full brightness it's still a little dim as compared to other netbooks.
Price is also a weak point; you can buy a faster machine with more storage out there for a lot less without the touch screen.
Overall, this netbook has some potential, but as it stands, I think should have waited for Version 2 with a better OS.

Great... With some Tinkering, April 14, 2010
This review is from: Asus Eee PC T91 8.9-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Tablet Computer (Black), Windows XP, T91SA-VU1X-BK (Personal Computers)
I was initially a bit weary about purchasing a tablet this size and at this price with XP but I decided to take a chance. The 1st time I used the T91 I was very pleased with the responsiveness and accuracy of the touch screen. The unit is quite light and very useful in portrait mode. Before I list the pro's and cons I will say that the only way you will get any enjoyment out of this machine is by loading windows 7 or xp tablet edition. The touchgate software provided is pretty useless, no support for inking in MS office, no journalling software, difficult device drivers and alot of lag in XP. I was pretty disappointed at this point with xp but after I booted windows 7 professional it all changed for me. Inking support and no lag at all. The unit actually runs a whole lot quicker with windows 7 loaded. The ink input and on screen keyboard (even at logon) is priceless. In the preloaded xp its very difficult to navigate using the stylus alone. Battery life is at least 4 hours which is really useful, sometimes even 5. I cant think of any cons, my only recommendation is maybe if you need a little extra speed go for the 2gb dimm, but even without it its quite snappy with win 7. The T91MT is a better choice with win 7 already preloaded. The size and weight are also fantastic, perfect size for your palm and very readable especially in portrait mode. You might have some software niggles but the asus forums are quite useful as no doubt someone has had the same issue before you. Two thumbs up!
