The Tablet Netbook: Asus T91


Eee PC T91 will be cradled in users’ arms because it's extremely slim and light. The Eee PC T91 measures just 225cm by 164cm, and weighs a mere 0.96kg—making it one of the smallest and thinnest gadgets with an 8.9" display in the world today.

With its TouchSuite, users can do a myriad of fun tasks with their fingertips, such as touching up photos, creating photo albums, leaving handwritten desktop memos for loved ones, and sketching cartoons or custom emoticons just like an Ipod.

Notebook or Netbook

The new craze for tech savvy these days is netbooks....

Analyzing the market today where the tech users are young and more into internet browsing....netbooks will have the upper hand against the notebook. Netbooks are for portability. With the availability of 3G and wireless internet shops/area, young people tend to wanna carry something light yet capable of internet browsing. This internet browsing addiction is due to the rise of social networks...by that we mean Friendster, Multiply, MySpace, Facebook, and a lot more...

Though some cellular phones are capable of internet functions, it is far better to browse the internet which has a capability of the notebook yet very light and portable.

Notebook has functions that are mostly use for office task and higher end programs. With the speeds of PC going faster and faster, notebooks will be the main portable device for office/business use. Netbooks on the other hand will serve the needs of Internet Junkies.

My old Neo Laptop



Before buying my Asus Laptop I am using Neo laptop. I save my money to buy my very first laptop back then and it took me about a year to pay it. I was back then considering to buy HP or Toshiba but price was the downside thus I settled for a new brand which was Neo.

I believe this is the series of Quad core after Core2 duo. Have not seen any PC or laptop with this processor lately. IF you had a chance to see one would appreciate if you can leave a comment on the new product.

My Asus....

Finally bought my new laptop after about two years of using my old and handy dandy Neo Laptop. I was canvassing for the past 6 months because I know laptops these days easily change and daily updates and upgrades are popping out.

I was torn between an Acer laptop and a HP laptop. Acer has just been new to my consideration list. Most of my preferences would be HP due to the fact that my former IT manager when I was still working with Orica Philippines suggest that capability and service wise, HP is the good choice than Toshiba and IBM. And so I shop around the limited computer retailers and shops here in Guam for the best price and got a glimpse of an Acer with the so good features I wanted. But of course I still inquired about HP but to my dismay what is common to all the shops I inquired is Acer, Toshiba, and Asus.

There was a laptop that currently matches my specifications and it was an Acer unit. It has 3G RAM, 320G HDD, built in webcam, wifi ready, and a wide screen. Looking at the price of about $1,050.00 I quite have some hesitations. So I look at others. One notable one is the Asus brand. They are good units do but downside is price. I know the built of an Asus unit has been regarded as superior than other laptop thus the pricey tag. My mind was torn between these two and I ask the retailer to give me some time to think about it.

A week pass and I was ready to buy the Acer but to my surprise it was sold a day before. Being desperate for a laptop unit to aid me in my work...I settled for an Asus laptop for $1,200.00, quite pricey yet I am confident that this thing wont let me down in my work. With its 2G RAM, Core 2 Duo Intel processor, 250G HDD and 15.2" wide screen my work and surfing experience will be up and running.
