The Eee PC T91 has a 9 inch screen with a swivel allowing you to fold the display down over the keyboard and use the computer in tablet mode.

Asus Eee PC 1000HE now shipping – unboxing video
Online retailer ZipZoomFly changed the status of the Asus Eee PC 1000HE from pre-order to “in stock” the other day. I was a bit skeptical since most shops are still taking pre-orders. But it does look like the latest netbook from Asus is indeed shipping, because Portable Monkey found an unboxing video on YouTube. The […]
HP Mini 2140 unboxed – Video
The HP Mini 2140 has been shipping for a few weeks now, and Liliputing reader Jean-Etienne LaVallee managed to get his hands on one. And he’s posted a kind of snarky unboxing video to prove it. He seems pretty impressed with the netbook’s build quality and design, but if you enjoy hearing people making fun […]

The Acer Aspire One D150 netbook is a new model with a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor.

Triple Boot Video: Windows 7, XP and CrunchEee on my Eee PC
I finally got around to installing Windows 7 beta on my Asus Eee PC 1000H last night. I downloaded it shortly after returning from CES, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to use it. But last night I set aside a few hours to install Windows 7 and CrunchEee on my netbook […]
Flying with netbooks – not what you think
Remember when some guy decided to take his Eee PC where no netbook had gone before by sticking it in a Ziploc bag and dipping it in a swimming pool? Yeah, today we’ve got a stunt that just might top that. For Acer’s “Want One” Contest, David Aldrich took an Acer Aspire One netbook hang […]
First look at the Asus Eee PC 1002HA
The nice folks at Asus just sent me an Eee PC 1002HA to review for the next few days. The Eee PC 1002HA is something of a cross between the Eee PC 1000H and the Eee PC S101. It has a brushed aluminum case like the S101, but it’s just about as thick as the […]
Sony exec says today’s netbooks stink
Sony UK Vaio head Nicolas Barendson has pretty much confirmed that the company won’t be releasing a netbook – or at least not a netbook that looks like all the other mini-laptops on the market today. He says all of the 7 to 10 inch notebooks available today are kind of “in-between” propositions for consumers, […]
Compaq Mini 700 unboxed
The Compaq Mini 700 is pretty much the same machine as the HP Mini 1000 netbook. But it’s got a big Compaq logo on the cover instead. HP announced the two netbooks on the same day in October. But the HP Mini 1000 launch grabbed all the headlines in the US, while only a handful […]
Asus Eee PC 1002HA unboxed (from a fancypants box)
You’ve seen the pictures, you’ve seen the reviews. Now it’s time to see the Asus Eee PC 1002HA get unboxed. YouTube user Zeavott has posted a video showing an Eee PC 1002HA netbook emerging from what appears to be a very nice looking case. Unlike previous Eee PC cases, the 1002HA box is sheer black, […]
