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

I was looking for a tablet that wouldn’t cost me my soul but would also function the way I need it to. I was a little apprehensive of how well this tablet would actually work with a Mac, but once I plugged it in and updated the driver I was really impressed. Managing the hot keys is easy, the scroll wheels work great and are essential, and the curser is very responsive. As a graphic designer I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign and this tablet really does well with them all. My one minor complaint is that even though you can set the hot keys based upon individual applications you still have to tell it which application your using. I set my keys up so I can quickly move through each app, using a standard setting for everything. So, if your looking for a tablet that will do the job until that one day comes when you can afford the Wacom Cintiq 21ux, this one will do just fine, especially for 140 bucks.
Got Painter Essential 3 and need a tool for input? This works well. Some of the other graphic tablets are just as good at twice the price. I use mine as a mouse and graphics tablet with my laptop PC. It plugs right into the USB port. I take it with me to the park and sketch birds and squirrels.
I like this pad a lot. No problems except that it takes some getting used to with the way it senses the movement of the stylus when it is close to it but not touching it.
While a very cool concept, this product is fraught with little bugs and glitches that mar the overall experience. The main issue seems to be almost entirely due to the slow processor speed and cobbled together software package.
The computer runs significantly better on Windows 7, but is more prone to glitches and ominous blue screens. (Though perhaps a fresher installation of Windows 7 would fix this). Once support comes out for Windows 7 from Asus (drivers) and W7 is released, I think this can once again be a handy little machine. Though at this point it sits on my desk since I don’t have the time to fix it but know it has the potential to do better.
Hardware/package/look- is very good except for the slow processor
Software- needs plenty of work to make it viable
This is a great little PC. I use it for taking notes in class and just general computing and internet access. I have installed a full install of MS Office on it, as well as a number of other programs including Firefox 3.5, IrfanView, VLC, and other open source software. The touch features are decent, and the screen is very accurate. I haven’t had to recalibrate it since purchase a few weeks ago.
I also like the flip feature to turn it in true a true tablet. I really like the button that allows you to turn the screen orientation. To help with text entry while I’m in tablet mode, I put the windows onscreen keyboard in the quick start menu.
The only drawback with this computer is the lag. Even during the typing of this review, it has lagged once or twice. I’ll type and it will back up a little bit and then spit out all of the letters at once. I tolerate this just fine, because the computer is otherwise perfect for my uses. I also find issues with playing youtube videos, where it takes a while for the video to buffer in the computer so that the video doesn’t jump. This is not an internet connection issue, but a computer issue.
One myth I would like to dispell – the keyboard is quite typable. I use the keyboard for taking notes in class, and can touch type very easily. It took a little bit to get used to the tab, caps lock, and backspace keys, but other than that, it’s wonderful and easy to type on at full speed.
I purchased the package with the 2gb ram upgrade and the external optical drive, which in my opinion was worth it. The whole package was under 600 bucks from amazon – the other dealers sometimes price the computer itself at 600. Order from amazon, even if they’re out of stock. They’ll send you one when they get it in.

Works just great for the reasons I have bought it. I use it as a portable book reader and for light windows applications. Keeps charge for a long time and light weight. If you are looking for a work horse or planning to do a lot of typing this laptop is not for you.

Above average net book. built very well. Battery life is as advertised. screen swivel is solid.
ram(1dimm/2gig max) and ssd(50mm dell mini 9 kind, super talent makes some) are upgradeable.
Installed windows 7 successfully. Didn’t need to install any drivers other than the graphics card, which i used windows update to install them. no multi-touch. graphics card drivers crash frequently when messing with video card settings and screen rotation. I would recommend staying with windows xp for the time being.
Can boot from a flash drive.
