toshiba-satelliteRemember my first hands on preview of the ASUS T101MT convertible netbook tablet? ASUS sure does as they were not pleased with my findings so they’ve send me another sample,
this one being just like the one that you’ll be able to buy from stores
in a few weeks. I won’t make a new review, or hands on video, but I’ll highlight the differences from the product I’ve handled a few weeks ago and this final version.
The big question you all have in your minds is whether the screen is good. Well, I’m happy to report that the new unit has no problems with the touch input.
It’s as precise as you can expect from a resistive screen (meaning a
little push is always necessary but it’s not an effort at all). I
couldn’t detect any problems with the edges of the screen at all.
This is how you know it's a convertible tablet
A nice addition to the second model is a new small piece of software that allows you to select the input method for handwriting: pen of finger.
This option calibrates the screen for one of the two touch methods and
the end results is quite nice (remember that selecting pen input won’t
allow you to use your fingers for handwriting). Of course there’s the
same lag between the moment you finish writing a word and the moment
it’s being converted to text (2 or 3 seconds), but the Atom CPU is the
one to blame for that.
The chiclet keyboard is very good
The
flash CPU occupancy stays high also in this model I’ve reviewed but
overall performance in Windows 7 Home Premium (apparently the T101MT
will ship with it) is better, but don’t expect miracles as the poor CPU
has to run mode processes needed for the touch interface.
It works well also as a netbook
