Default Asus Eee PC T91

Pricing is one final topic that we haven’t covered yet – that’s because nothing has been confirmed yet. Sadly, the exchange rate fluctuations we’re seeing at the moment mean that all Asus can give us is a ballpark range for the device. The company is expecting the Eee PC T91 to sell for somewhere between the Eee PC 1000HE at around £360 and the Eee PC S101, which is currently available for about £420.

That’s quite a lot for an 8.9-inch netbook, but when you factor in some of the features Asus has integrated into this model – such as the touch screen, the DVB-T TV tuner, 3G data card and GPS functionality – it looks like it might be quite good value. Aside from the price, there are several more unknowns, including the quality of the keyboard, touch screen software and whether or not the touch pad problems we encountered are limited to this pre-production sample.

Ultimately, the quality of Asus’ touch screen software is going to determine the fate of this device because, without great software, you’re paying for a feature that might be useful on occasion, but is likely to be a hindrance more often than not. Having not spent time using the software yet, it's impossible to gauge the fate of the T91 – keyboard and touch pad issues aside though, the device's build quality is a notch above most other Eee PCs and not too far from the S101. And given the amount of time between now and the expected end of April availability date, we expect the issues we encountered to be resolved. If touch is your thing, this might be worth a look.
