Market is flooded with the Asus Eee PC netbooks. Each week they come up with a new model of netbook. Now it’s become a routine that we get surprised if no model of Asus is released in a week and this time their new incarnation is the Eee PC T91 – a netbook with a difference of touchscreen display.

T91 isn’t the only one which features the touchscreen panel there are other products also such as the Zoostorm FizzBook Spin which is a child-friendly device.

It’s close to its other batch mates of netbooks in size – 8.9 inches, such as the Eee PC 701. The screen is 10 inches with 1024 x 600 resolution. Not all websites can fit on the screen without scrolling but it definitely looks sharper on a panel of this size. Unfortunately it becomes difficult to see the screen in sunlight and covered in prints because of its glossy panel.

The touchscreen is responsive to both finger touches as well as a stylus, a different way to navigate though Windows XP operating system. Asus also bundles its Touch Dock software, which brings with it a host of finger-friendly applications, and also increases the size of some of the menu bars.

It’s a treat for those people with large fingers as it becomes difficult for them to close applications in the Standard OS but Asus offers you the ability to close them with ease. With Asus software and much larger close buttons make it easy for those with big digits.

You will also find the memo-making app built-in, which makes it easy for you to scribble notes for yourself when it’s kept at kitchen or near your dining area which can later be transferred onto the desktop in the form of post-its. T91 looks neat and it’s become a fashion these days to give every netbook at glossy look. It looks great until it is covered with fingerprints and grime. You can swing the netbook round 180 degrees until it becomes flat for tablet use. the screen is also hinged in the centre.

It will take time to get accustomed to the keys as the keyboard is much smaller than other netbooks currently on sale and a downside of the 8.9 inch form factor. The tiny keys and cramped layout are a bit difficult to use initially but you will get used to it.

The touchpad is relative small but it responds quickly and supports gesture support. Atom Z520 provides the processing power which is found in Sony’s miniscule VAIO P-Series. It runs at 1.33GHz with the memory power of 1024MB and performance is also reasonably good. It’s no better than any other netbook, but still this is a device used for basic tasks only.

You will find solid state memory which helps in speeding up the process; although at 16GB a person who collects large media files might have to get an external drive or something else. Battery life is also aided by the SSD, and lasts for nearly six hours between charges.

Other features are two USB ports, 4-in-1 memory card reader, Bluetooth is also provided so that you can easily transfer the date to and fro from your mobile phones and the Wi-Fi adapter which is limited to 802.11g speed.
Either ways Eee PC T91 is a good portable netbook to use irrespective of the fact that it is touchscreen. Overall it is a good device which has the touch software and its little size helps us to hold it with one help while writing with the stylus. Apart from this the battery life is decent enough if the cramped keyboard is overlooked.
