admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:43:02 +0000

Asus has a lot riding on its first convertible netbook, the 8.9-inch Eee PC T91. It is their first netbook to have a swivel screen that can also be used as a tablet device. We know that several different versions of the T91 are planned, including the 3G-enabled T91GO. We also know that a Windows 7 multitouch version is planned from our conversations with Asus. However, what we didn’t know were the model numbers and specification differences.

According to AsusTablet, the standard version (T91) will be followed by the 3G T91GO, which will also have GPS and a digital TV Tuner. The multitouch Windows 7 version will use the model name T91A. The Eee PC T91GO will weigh 0.06kg heavier than the standard SKU at 1.02kg, probably to account for the weight of the TV Tuner.

Dell.com is now selling the Mini 10v with an optional Atom n280 processor running at 1.66 GHz (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB/512K cache). It is a $25 option that will be worted if you want to watch 720p HD video on your Mini (especially usefull via VGA out).

There is no sign of a screen upgrade to 1024×600 like in the previous generation of Mini 9.

The big speed difference mainly come from the faster 667MHz (up from 533MHz) front-side bus. It is not known yet if the 10v will be equiped with the new GN40 chipset or if it will still use the old 945GSE one.

The update has not made it to the Canadian web site yet.
