The iPad is more of a smartbook in slate form. It's not appropriate to compare the two devices. The iPad is designed to be an MID strictly for media consumption whereas this convertable netbook has a full OS and it meant to be used for productivity as well.]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/

2). the 1.6 Atom processor is faaar to slow to be useful today.
3). The usual screen (if this is what it has) fitted to laptops is a bastard resolution (1024 x 600 and is basically hopeless.
4). The multi-touch screen really does seem to have a problem.

Nice idea, let down by today's price-point technology]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/
Would you feel comfortable comparing a high-end desktop with your average laptop?]]>Feb 28th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Get over it. The iPad is marketed and presented as a tablet device. As such, it has allowed itself to be compared to other tablets. The iPad is weak and underpowered before it has even been released and it is a pity Apple had dropped the ball and prepared such a disappointing device for the market.

If you don't want a tablet such as the iPad compared with a tablet such as this, then I implore you to go back in time and tell Apple R&D to stop dicking around.

Thank-you.]]>Feb 28th 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/
i don't think you realise this, but you are all comparing the two already by listing the features, functions that they 'should not' be compared with. That in itself is a comparison.

comparison between the two devices is fair, abeit with their differences as they both aim to do basic computing.]]>Feb 28th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/

i agree, though pretty much all resistive touchscreens are going to be this way, and i would really hate to see the hp slate be a resistive touchscreen tablet pc,i would love it to be capacitive.]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/
I didn't like the comment that "obviously the windows 7 isn't designed for touch tablets" That all seems to be just a hardware problem. If it isn't equiped with accelerometers that it isn't going to be able to switch orientations based on how you hold it. Also, the touch issues he's been having look due to the screen.]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/
I just read through the first review and included there is an update relevant to my post:

"
UPDATE: I’ve spoken with the ASUS representative in my country and they’ve said it’s a problem with the screen. I’ll be getting updates here as I receive a working model, so check back soon.

UPDATE 2: I’ve played with the screen calibration and almost made it work perfectly, except the top part of the screen where definitely is something broken as touch input there is very imprecise.

I love it so much. Capacitive, crazy responsive and pretty snappy. It works great in netbook mode and tablet mode, and I'm actually using the tablet mode on the couch at home. I love the form factor, I just wish they'd throw ION in it.]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/

Adobe Photoshop Elements is unusable though. No pressure sensitivity on the digitizer. And the screen is too small for Elements to handle gracefully. Tracking feels a little slow too.

Right now, the touch and multi-touch stuff in Windows is a little more gimmicky than useful. As a software developer, I know you can expect us to do our part to make our wares really touch friendly.

But if you want to know what a device like this is really good for... I write software that let kids create, share, and read digital picture books. Put it in tablet mode, stick a five year old on your lap, then let them use the software full screen and touch things to turn pages, read in natural voice, read in computer voice, etc.]]>Feb 28th 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Mar 1st 2010 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/

Hi,

Get the HP Touchsmart tm2 (I ordered min because your requirements were the same as mine). It has everything you ask for:
1. Multitouch screen with Wacom digitizer for pen input
2. HDMI output
3. Great battery life
4. Runs full Windows 7
5. If you get the ATI graphics option you could do some light gaming.

Anyway, I got the 1.6 GHz Cored 2 Duo CPU option, the AT graphics option, and 4 GB RAM, and with online coupon and HP instant rebate it came to $999 (same as their instant ship model which has lower specs). ]]>Feb 28th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/Feb 28th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/asus-eee-pc-t101mt-convertible-gets-handled-twice-video/
Why some people always compliant iPad don't run full OS ?
Tablet PC already exist for year why not get real one instead complain iPad ?

There is no perfect product for reasonable price, why you guys don't understand ? Want full OS runs better than iPad and cheaper than iPad.
(and more function more IO ports) Okay. You can dream, but this is business. All your hope is not exist in current technology (at least in reasonable price and battery life). This is reality , guys.
