    hmmm...they should put a larger version of the screen on top of the keyboard, add a hinge to allow it to close, and maybe include a removable battery.

    I totally don't understand this product. Who wants to have a keyboard with not one but at least 3 cables attached? If the sell is the sideshow screen embedded in the keyboard then I'd rather have a USB keyboard with a screen and a traditional computer tucked away someplace.

    @brianhatch: What cables are you speaking of? It has wireless HDMI and Internet. You just need power for when you charge it.

    I like the idea of this device, and the sideshow touchscreen is pretty clever, but I'm not really sure that I see the advantage of it over a nettop or a laptop, especially when you start adding complexity like wireless HDMI.

    If what you're looking for is a low profile living room PC, there's really not any reason that you couldn't just have the PC attached to the TV directly, then use any number of wireless keyboard/mouse combos available for $30-$50 to control it from the coffee table. About the only advantage this would have over that settup is that you could move it from room to room more easily.

    The question I have is...
    If it isnt connected to a external display, can the 4 inch screen be used as a primary display? Or is that for certain apps only? That screen would be great for IM's.

    Wow, looking at the PC in a keyboard, I thought I was looking at an ad in the back of PC Magazine, 15 years ago. What was the name of the company that always advertised - zero footprint or something like that?

    The more things change, ...

    Why...? By then netbooks will be the old fad. Rumor has it there's this cool new touch tablet coming out? Heard about that?

    "It's half tablet, half last-gen netbook"



    THANK YOU!



    When I saw the specs on this, I just stared. 1.33GHZ Atom. 1GB RAM. 16GB SSD. 9" screen. Non-removable battery. No user upgradable components. A touchscreen system running plain WinXP - not Win XP Tablet Edition? And the original price was $700. All I could think was 'who the hell would buy this?'



    Heck, you can't even run Origami Desktop on this. None of the touch enabled applications will work on it. Maybe with Win7 premium, you'd have something - except that getting Win7 to run on that will be a daunting task, to say the least.



    Sorry Asus, but utter, utter fail. I hope they learn from this and make the upcoming T101 tablet better.



    If you want to see what a touchbook could look like? Check out the Gigabyte T1028. Full netbook. 10" screen. 1.6GHz processor. Standard and high res screen options. User upgradable memory and a real HD. Heck, it even includes an ExpressCard/34 slot! It's pricier, but it's actually potentially useful.

    I'd like to see a little more review in this review; how is the keyboard? Is the screen multitouch? what's the battery life like? can you at least give us a rundown on the specs? have you bothered to update it to Windows 7 with its touchscreeny goodness?

    @weatherman: It really is like a last-gen netbook in those regards, so I didn't see the point in rehashing old rundowns--keyboard is about as good as it gets for that size, I was getting around 4 hours of battery life.



    No multitouch, it's a resistive screen.



    Didn't get a chance to put Windows 7 on it--I might do an update post after I do.

    I'm still interested... hopefully, there's a way to customize OS/software for better results.

    Crunchpad is nice too, but I really need a physical keyboard, even if it's a tiny one.



    Maybe I should just wait for the next gen... a 10inch screen would be perfect.

    Is this a review of the device or of portable tablets? 8.9 inches borders on too large for tossing in a small bag, with room to spare. If you don't get the form factor, the review is a bit pointless. It's like a vegetarian reviewing a steakhouse.

    @Brookespeed: I've been using tablets and UMPCs for a long time now - and regardless of his attitude about tablets, he's still right. The T91 is not a well designed tablet PC.

    I will never use a stylus on any kind of touchscreen again. Ever. If I can't hit more than one button at a time, then forget it. If I have to use anything other than my fingers, forget it.
