Asus T91MT Tablet To Include Multitouch With Windows 7
One of the early entrants into a new niche for relatively cheap netbook convertibles is Asus. Since January, they’ve been showing off their $500 T91, which is an 8.9″ convertible with netbook like specs such as 1.33GHz Z520 CPU and 1GB RAM. But among geek reviews, the biggest criticisms of the device was its lag in touch responsiveness. That’s not a surprise since it was running on Windows XP. Now it looks like the dated rumors have been confirmed. Brad over at Liliputing noticed that when you enter the Asus website support page for T91, it asks you to choose between a T91 and T91MT, where MT obviously stands for multitouch. Since Windows 7 is the only Windows OS that supports multitouch, this device should start shipping shortly after 7 is released in October.
Before the Asus T91 convertible tablet, there really wasn’t a niche for convertible tablets aimed at non-business users. Whether you wanted one for the kids or simply to use it for note-taking at school or to experience touch on a screen, you didn’t have many options at an affordable price. Most business convertibles ran in the order of $1500+ from Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Fujitsu. Gigabyte recently attempted to break into this market with the TouchNote T1028 with a $700 price tag which may be difficult for consumers to justify for a convertible with netbook specs.
