Great for Casual, Creative and Collaborative Uses

The Eee PC™ T91MT's tablet form factor and multi-touch screen avail it to many uses. In slate form, it functions as a great e-reader, allowing users to read documents and books comfortably anywhere. In netbook mode, the Eee PC™ T91MT serves as an invaluable tool for discussions, as the screen can be swiveled to accommodate multiple users, as well as accept concurrent touch input from more than one source. With the Eee PC™ T91MT's multi-touch capabilities, free-flowing interaction between participants is now possible.

Puts Users in Touch with their Creative Sides

The Eee PC™ T91MT's multi-touch functionality makes interacting with the computer so intuitive and effortless, it encourages users to get creative. With its support for Windows 7 Multi-Touch gestures, virtually every task can be performed with a tap, drag, pinch or flick. Photos can be zoomed into, rotated and repositioned with the greatest of ease. Games can be controlled in a much more interactive way, and pages of documents can be flipped with fingers—just as they would be with a real book. Adding to the fun is a suite of touch-optimized applications known as TouchSuite. TouchSuite allows users to perform a myriad of tasks with their fingertips, including editing photos with FotoFun, taking notes with NotePad and scribbling handwritten reminders with Memos.
