Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook 205
MojoKid writes "Asus today launched yet another addition to their Eee PC netbook product offering. The Eee PC T91 is unlike any Eee PC we've seen before, primarily because the screen can be spun around and flipped down in the style of a tablet. This so-called 'netvertible' sector is still in its earliest stages, making the T91 one of the first netbooks available that also doubles as a full-fledged tablet PC. Unlike the Eee PC 'Seashell' line, which is largely just a sleeker take on the tried-and-true Eee
PC netbook, the T91 takes a completely different approach to computing. Its 8.9" resistive touchscreen literally puts a new spin on the netbook and enables a new usage model."

Although the computer looks nice, I am a bit concerned as to the quality of the screen attachment. I have friend who has a computer with a similar configuration and after a year the screen would become wobbly, probably because of wear on the joint. Does anyone know whether Asus has taken care of this?
As a time-traveller from July 2010, I can assure you that this newly-launched product which hardly anyone in 2009 has even touched, does not, in fact, get wobbly after a year of use.

Let's call the Windows based version a winnetvertible, and the Ubuntu version a netvertibuntu. If they add the ability for the Ubuntu version to make calls, it's a netphonevertibuntu. The aquatic version which comes with tools to help you catch fish and move boats will be a fishnetphonevertibuntugboat.
Or, we could stop making up stupid names for shit.

Hi everybody. Just wanted to stop by and say you are welcome. My now obsolete Eee non-touchscreen netbook was delivered yesterday. My decision to finally purchase thus ushered in this new generation of netbook (2 days later) for you all to enjoy. I'm getting tired of waiting for Android phones too so I better go buy a G1 so that 3 new Android phones will be released the next day. Otherwise we'll just have to keep waiting indefinitely.
