The touch screen is in and the tablets are the talk of the town. The notebooks are still better choice than the tablets as they may support the full versions of all the software and may undertake all kind of complicated tasks that a tablet cannot handle. Thus, there is whole lot of confusion between the notebook and tablet. The Asus Eee PC Touch T101MT has solved the entire confusion by introducing the netbook that can be converted to the tablet. It is the best idea if it clicks the way it should. The multi touch screen, standard netbook configuration and chiclet keyboard would have made this gadget one of the finest gadgets in the market but the fact remains that this gadget has not proved its worth to the gadget lovers.
The pricing is low but still it is not that low to compromise on key features. This plastic notebook is sturdier than other Asus netbooks but there is no comparison with other netbooks. The 2.8 pounds weight is comparatively good to carry but there is something that makes this netbook cum tablet unfit for purchase. The touch screen is less responsive and that will call for a considerable pressure to be applied to slide the screen. The software selection is also a big issue. The Asus Eee PC Touch T101MT offers Windows 7 starter version which is a terrible choice for a tablet. It doesn’t support the hand-writing recognition or even two finger scrolling and pinch to zoom applications. The user can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium by paying an extra amount but it doesn’t make sense as the price increases and overall price may not be justified for this configuration.
The 10.1 inch screen and swivel around technology is amazing at first glance but then when you actually use it as a tablet then you will find it very fat for your hands. The weight which is considered light for the netbook would suddenly feel heavier to your hands as the tablet. The matt black colored netbook doesn’t attract much even after the chrome embellishments. The 3 USB ports, a memory card reader and VGA slot are present as any other standard netbook.
Asus has tried to make it different but in the run it has turn out to be a big disappointment. The tablet lovers who need netbook actually can opt for this netbook but then it won’t feel like tablet due to its weight, resistive screen and thickness.
