Significant features

Processor

Specially designed for touch enabled devices, Intel Atom Z520 drives the Asus Super Hybrid Engine with processing speed of 1.33GHz. Supported by 512KB L2 Cache and 533MHz Front Side Bus, the ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK delivers a superb multitasking performance. You’ll also notice tremendously fast and efficient Web Experience with this netbook thanks to the Intel power combined with Asus Super Hybrid Engine. Up to 1 GB of installed RAM makes every heavy application work smoothly with lightening fast speed. Integrated Intel GMA 500 Graphics Controller wonderfully supports the High definition visuals and HD games.

Designer’s netbook

With the resistive touch screen accompanied by the latest Windows 7 Operating System, the ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK provides a robust platform for various designing softwares such as Photoshop, ArtRage, Corel Painter, etc. You get a superb control over the lines and curves of the design to make it most accurate. The resistive screen is not very much welcomed by all since many of you might be impressed with the latest capacitive screens, but ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK satisfies the user to the core. Moreover, the battery life up to 5 hours, though not as much as provided by contemporaries, is enough for your daily errands.

Portability

Asus has taken care of keeping the model as light and as compact as possible. Weighing just over 2 pounds the netbook is 9 inches wide and thinner than an inch. Just throw it in your hand bag or backpack and take it wherever you want. 180º rotating screen is a wonder. You can use the netbook in tablet mode as well, but the power of the CPU is lowered in the tablet mode. The lag caused because of this discomfort makes it a bit irritating to use it while traveling. Nonetheless, the ASUS Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK provides enough portability as far as the weight and size is concerned.

Technical Specifications

Inference

Asus has really made an innovation combining the functionalities of notebook and tablet in one compact, portable device which will also help you travel light and will keep you productive all the time. Asus Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK 8.9-Inch Intel Atom Netbook Computer is a brilliant device which apparently is a bit high priced yet fails to provide a really fast processor which is powered for more efficient multitasking without lags or delayed response. Credentials of Asus as seen so far, forced me to trust on the reliability of the device but still I am not much convinced by that hefty price tag of $750 for the middling processor performance and the graphics sported by the model.
