With Windows 7 Home premium you can scroll using 2 fingers (While in finger mode, of course).

As for viewing in 720p, that is unrealistic for this unit. This is not a high end computer with a 2.5 GHz processor. If you need to play high definition web clips with 720 or better, this will not be a good fit. My Acer Aspire 5500 with a 2.9 Ghz won’t do it, so it’s a sure bet that this one won’t either. After all, the unit only costs $550 after upgrades. You get what you pay for. A bit more in this case, in my opinion, but you still won’t get the performance of a $1000 notebook.

This is a good machine for students and casual users. It is not good for those with high performance computer needs.

You can’t get 4 GB inside that one. The platform only supports up to 2 GB so there’s no way you can have more

Great review thanks but left me wondering if I’ve done the right thing in ordering one,however having done so, it has the 2Gb memory, on the http://www.simplyasus.com web site they are selling an upgrade to 4Gb, if you order when purchasing the 101 from them but I have been told that the 101 cannot accept 4Gb, can you advise if it is possible and would there be a noticeable difference

It might play some 720ps based on bitrate and the software you’re using. there’s a software pack that costs around 20 bucks known to enhance HD performance on ATOM platforms, i haven’t tested it though, but others did and seemed to get decent performance with it. Now, when i tested this Asus, i could hardly play self-stored 720p decently. So my money would be on the 1825pt (I own one and am very satisfied with it).

I don’t care much about YouTube or Flash video, what about 720p mkv files?

I’m torn between this and the Acer 1825ptz; the Acer is bigger and meaner (hardware wise) but if the Asus T101MT can handle 720p mkv files off a local drive then I’m sold.

Great Review
Can you actually draw using the stylus with the device? How well does the plam rejection work?
Thanks in advance.

Great reviews, thanks!

I’m so torn between the 91 and the 101. I like the size, the ability to watch higher quality videos, and the keyboard (not a fan of chicklets) on the 91, but it’s non-removable battery and instant need of upgrade bugs me as does the fact that it’s an earlier model.

I like that the 101 has a bigger screen, palm recognition and a removable (and replaceable) battery, but it’s bigger size and inability to run higher quality video are concerns.

I guess in the end the main worry is that I’ll run out of juice while out and about–so maybe the video quality limitations and chicklet keyboard are worth the sacrifice? (I’m a fiction writer/blogger and do a bit of audio and video podcasting/editing where it would be nice to cut audio and/or video on this thing but not required.) I guess I’ll never find exactly what I want…

Tommy, if you’re only using light editing, why the need for photoshop? especially cs4? I haven’t tried it out but i can say it will probably work, but will definitely take a lot to load and to perform various tasks.

Does Photoshop CS4 work?? it might enounter some sluggish on “heavy work” but im only using “light edit” on photoshop and I mean Raw to Jpeg.
