How can we activate the icon to switch between pen mode and Write Mode ? (i don’t find nowhere the programme Penwrite, I can not find the programme Penwrite, either in Windows directories or in the Touch Gate application)
Can we change the applications in the Touch Gate mode ?

Brandon, it should work in both cases, but I don’t know how you can check that out. Personally I would go for the higher spec model anyway, as I believe 2GB RAM and Windows 7 Professional are worth the upgrade…

Hi, so now I’ve decided that I do in fact want to buy the Asus t101! The gigabyte has high specs, but it’s too pricey, and i have a laptop that can take care of more strenuous tasks.
I just have one more question, something I’m a bit confused about. on newegg.com, it lists several different Asus t101 versions. One is with windows 7 starter and 1 gb of ram, and another is mindows 7 professional with 2 gb of ram.
Does the palm recognition only work with windows home premium or professional? So, if i get the starter one, will I be able to rest my palm on the screen while writing?

Hi Brandon or John

Even though the white did not sell enough did they say anything at all about ordering one?

John:

Your information is great!

Hi, I contacted ASUS and they told me that the white version was a test, it didn’t sell enough, so they just went to black.
Thanks a lot for the info, I think I’m going with the Gigabyte t1005m JUST because I need something with more power over portability.

I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to install OneNote on the Playbook or any other tablet that’s not powered by Windows 7 or Mac OS X (not iOS), so if you want to use this program go for the T101Mt or wait for EEE Slate EP121.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I have also been reading about the blackberry playbook and the new ASUS Slate coming out? seems like theres a lot out there but none overwhelmingly good at a reasonable price. what are your thoughts?

Are any of these usable with OneNote do you know?

Adam, I haven’t tested the Lenovo, but I do know handwriting recognition depends most on the software, as long as the touch screen layers manages to draw exactly where your stylus touches the screen.

From what I’ve seen, the Asus T101MT does a good job at drawing the screen accurately, so it all comes down to software’s ability to recognize characters.

Im wondering if you can comment on the handwriting recognition of the ASUS vs the Lenovo, and also if either or both are usable with OneNote? I am going to use it for jotting quick notes and also as a reader.
thanks!!

ASUS didn’t tell me anything about this, and I’ve seen both versions on the official product page. It might just be a problem with availability….
