13.05.2009
Asus will this summer launch in the UK the Asus Eee PC T91, a tablet-style netbook with a swivelling touchscreen. The Asus Eee PC T91 adds tablet functionality to the burgeoning Asus Eee PC line.

The Asus Eee PC T91 has an 8.9in rotating touchscreen display that converts into a tablet and a stylus. The Asus Eee PC T91 will cost around £449 (US$682) inc VAT, and will initially ship with Windows XP and Asus' own touchscreen technology.

Windows 7 upgrades are a possibility, according to Asus, and in the longer term the company expects the Asus Eee PC T91 to ship with Windows 7.

Asus is also in discussion with mobile broadband providers to produce an Asus Eee PC T91 with integrated 3G mobile connectivity. This would ship for 'free', but on a mobile broadband contract.

The Asus Eee PC T91 includes a Z520 Atom processor, 1GB RAM and a 32GB SSD hard disk. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built-in.
