Update: Added video after the break of this svelte convertible floating in air with its incredibly dreamy UI. It's destined to make all your touchable dreams come true. No, really.
I think its a custom interface on xp, like the one hp has. If you watch closely when he uses the window switcher, you can see the xp desktop as one of the windows.
Make is usable with a pen (maybe it is already I don't know) and replace the awful black and white ultra cheap plastic motif for a nice black rubberized exterior and I'm sold completely.
I am sooo with you on the rubberized aspect. IMHO all portable electronics should have this coating as a law! I call it "grip insurance".
Steve who?
.. Asus is the new Black ..
Viddler seems to have died. Any mirrors for the video?
Jizzed in my pants
for some reason i want this and i wanna mod the hell out of it, umpc without the keyboard kinda stuff
Make it less than $500 and I'll bite.
Too bad it'll probably be too expensive for what you get. The whole netbook thing has definitely let me down regarding to prices.
Very nice.
But what odds this comes with a hefty side order of disappointingly high price.
Windows? No thank you, I say.
just install your OS of choice and shut up.
Do not bark before you learning how to install an OS.
thanks for the storybook cam-rip cough
This thing is awesome. I can't even think of what laptops will be like in two years. Simply amazing. And I don't really think I would use the TV tuner that much but it would just be so nice to have at my disposal, not to mention its just cool.
I don't understand the Z520, what advantage is there over the N270?
For all the people saying "windows no thanks, otherwise great". Get real. For all the flaws of Windows, and resource hungry Vista they have the most fully featured and advanced tablet features of any OS out there. Vista and what I can tell from reading about it Win7 really excel there. Indeed Vista probably looses a lot of points with their Tablet features as for 98% of people it just adds unnecessary bloat. Give it 2 or 3 years when touch & tablet are more the norm and people will realise Vista was ahead of the game in some ways. But by then it won't matter as Win7 will provide all Vista did with a more sensible footprint (or at least, let's hope so).
built in GPS, does it actually work like a GPS or some other stupid shit, and wow a built in tv tuner, this could be a upgrade from my 1st gen Eee, not to big on the whoel touch screen thou, but hey if 7 has something incredible to offer, just maybe
All i can say is "FINALLY!"
Touchscreen - Check
2lb - check
GPS!!! - CHECK!!
Now pleaze make it sub $500
Also whats all this Win7 talk? the slide showed "OS: Windows XP"
Sweet... I will absolutely put OSX86 on this puppy in a heartbeat!
(no more windoze for me)
cheers gh
windows 7 would be better on that I guess... its make for mobile tablet.
ubuntu mobile would be even better, its awesome on touchscreen :)
my next computer
what´s with the video btw? it says not available.
anybody has a working link?
bring it in japan! if you can put tv, lots of people will buy it! a standalone small tv is already 400$ here...
I thought everyone is watching TV on their cell in japan already.
what OS was that running the video... like not the xp part, everything else
and won't windows 7 work better than xp on it, why dont they wait it out
or at least include one of those "free upgrade to 7" stickers or something
btw, is vista really that bad for tablets?
i'd really go for this to replace my current notebook if it was sub 700 with good specs
and with the public legal beta realize of windows 7 just around the corner, it just sweetens the deal
Really gonna have to stop myself buying this but I'll be waiting for the Windows 7 era to push on before I go out for a touch-screen laptop. I'd like an ultra-portable for work but I also need one with a better processor since I handle large amounts of data.
Holy poop faces. If it had dual atom CPU, Id crap myselves.
WTF!!! why did asus choose to use a 1.3GHz Z520? thats even slower than my eee 900ha that has a 1.6GHz N270... I hope they upgrade the proccessor with something faster and keep it the same dimensions as the 900a. the Kohjinsha SC3 and SX3 have the exact same specs with the 1.3GHz cpu and GPS and they manage to make it really small... I wonder if Acer and the other netbook are also coming out with tablet netbooks
make a 10 inch version with dual core atom and POSSIBLY the nvidia ion platform and i'll buy it with teh quickness. they're getting closer and closer to making my dream netbook.
LUST !
Well, if there is one thing we know about Asus, it is that they will flood the range. So this is likely the "base" model, and we will see 10 other touchscreen eee's shortly after.
I was just about the throw down for a pair of 1002HA's for my wife and I... now I want to know how much those little machines will cost. I'll probably still for for the 1002HA anyway since it's now and it's affordable to get 2 :) but a 2 lbs tablet would be hella tempting. BlueTooth tether that to any 3G phone and one wouldn't really need a smart phone either.
Gimme!
This, in black, with 2GB RAM, a PCI-Express-Mini slot, and Eeebuntu Netbook Remix, or a fixed Android... I'd be all over that thing.
When is the release date? what is the price!?
(did you say with windows 7!? that'd be a freakin' waste of silicon ... and money)
I really hope it's a DTV tuner inside and not just a soon to be useless analog one!
If it is I'm going to laugh, then cry, then buy, and hack it with a DTV tuner, better antenna, and video in! :D
OMFG, absolute amazing!
May be I have to give up my EEEPC 701 earlier and earlier...
nah, ASUS rocks
In my opinion the big problem remains the short battery autonomy. This new generation netbook definitely has a lot of nice features, but they seem pretty useless to me if I can just use them for 2 hours or so when I'm outside before the system shuts down. Give me a 6-cell battery (and a little more decent CPU, N270 just like the others would be fine), and I'm in, regardless of its price and thickness (well...!)
its $499 in the us , More in the uk :(

at the end she says the price
Everyone claiming it has a TV Tuner need to watch the video again, it has a FM Tuner. An FM Tuner allow you to stream music to a radio, kind of like a very short range radio station. Typical use case would be that you'd have it in your car and could stream music to your car radio.
Oops, I'm wrong, please low rank my above comment. That said, I know I've read in previous articles that it had FM Tuner...sigh
waaaahhhh this is what ive been waiting for all along. thank jebus i didn't just buy the 901 like i was going to.
