Articles about netbook tablet

I'm usually confused by Asus, one of the most prolific manufacturers when it comes to releasing new products at short intervals but in the case of tablet PCs they are quite slow as we only have word about T91MT (9 inch convertible netbook tablet) and the T101mt, a 10.1 inch model with upgraded netbook hardware: Pinetail Atom N450 CPU. The rest of the specs remain pretty mainstream: 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive and Windows 7 Starter. There will also be a more high spec model with 2 GB RAM, a 320 G...

There are two ways a manufacturer can get attention to its products: build something cheap, powerful and with nice design or do something new that breaks any patterns thus getting the media guys to talk about it, and from there it's success all over. Lenovo chose the second alternative when it came up with the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid notebook plus slate/tablet gadget. The plus means you have two gadgets in one: a regular notebook with a 11.6 inch screen and an Intel Core 2 Duo ULV CPU and a detachable...

CES is on starting January the 7th and already manufacturers have started to show products that makes us believe the Touch Tablet trend is going to skyrocket this year. One of those devices is the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t, essentially a netbook tablet with a capacitive screen and multitouch capabilities.It's not surprising to see that netbook tablets are manufacturer's favorite when it comes to converting gadgets to tablet PCs as netbooks already have a pretty low starting price point and addin...

Touch tablet niche and ebook readers seem to be the 'next thing' in 2010, and pretty much every big manufacturers is jumping into the wagon. Packard Bell recently announced that it will bring to market next year a color eBook reader and a convertible netbook tablet (just like the Acer 1420p and 1820p models), a 11.6 inch model. Unfortunately there's not much more to say about those two models, but I guess it reinforces the belief that Apple is planning a tablet for next year. It seems there's to...

As expected the idea of a cheap netbook transformed into a Tablet PC has caught manufacturer's attention and after Acer and ASUS it's Gigabyte's turn to launch it's own 10 inch netbook with a rotating touch screen, but what's out of the ordinary here is the price: 728$ on Amazon. Ouch.What were they thinking? It's too much, twice more than a good netbook. Wasn't the whole idea of a netbook tablet to lower prices? Well, I guess they know better what they wand so let's go and check the specs o...

What's the reason to have a 9-10 inch touchscreen at your disposal and not benefit from multitouch technology. ASUS seems to agree with us so it launched recently the ASUS Eee PC T91MT multitouch netbook, based on the T91 convertible netbook tablet.As any respectable netbook tablet it is lightweight (under 1 kilo or 0.96 to be exact) and it's secure enough to not need special care thanks to the 32 GB SSD drive mounted inside it, complemented by 500 GB of online storage space on the ASUS WebS...

I don't understand manufacturers that base their products on modified versions of other products. What if the original manufacturer stops selling the initial model? You're left with no prime materials for your own model. But that's not the point of this post. The point is to show another Dell Inspiron Mini mod, this time not an amateur try, but a fully fledged netbook tablet.The manufacturer is called Stantum and the product is Slate PC, a 10.1 inch tablet with "unlimited touch". In this cas...

We're not talking about a new product but of a possible perfect touch tablet, a 9-10 inch device with no keyboard at all to keep size down, with a few hours of battery life and a custom interface on top of the usual Windows/Linux OS installed in the factory. This is where this niche should go, as many users modd their netbooks at home to give them touch capabilities.[caption id="attachment_449" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="A touch tablet that started as a Dell Mini 9"][/caption] ...

The logical step for getting a cheap tablet PC (the price was always the problem with this devices) is to get a netbook and convert it into a touch tablet. All major manufacturers seem to embrace this idea, so did ASUS, which announce a few weeks ago the ASUS Eee PC T91MT netbook tablet, a product which is now available on Amazon.com, for a not so low price of 472 $, a whole 200 $ more than a 'regular' nebook, but that's the price to pay for a rotating screen, a touchscreen layer and a stylus. ...
