T91MT Intro Video

[squoblat]

I love my T91mt, but it has NEVER run as smoothly as this video shows. Especially not with all the asus bloatware on it. Want to run SHE after upgrading to 2 gig of corsair ram? Not bloody likely. Blue screen central.

Currently running it on ubuntu 10.10 with compiz and its a lot smoother than it ever was with the factory windows load.

so this device because of the lack of an active digitizer would most likely not be adviced for people mainly doing note taking and writing with a pen. But for a cheap touchscreen device, which surpasses ipad , then this is good.

i currently do note taking with my wacom intuos 4, as it has a digitized pen

Just an update. There is partial palm rejection (works on two apps), and there is GLOBAL pressure sensitivity!

Palm rejection only works with Journal and Sticky Notes and is disabled by default. Pressure sensitivity works on any application that is compatible with it, but it's generally disabled by default.

It's my new toy, so forgive me for initially saying it didn't have these two features. :-)

What about infopath?

[TheGadler]

HAHAHA... look at this BRIGHT screen. AD-Lie.

Display ist terrible dark!

[diggingforgold]

The display is bright indoors, marginally acceptable outdoors in the shade, and unacceptable outdoors in direct sunlight. I would describe the T91MT as being very typical of consumer notebooks/netbooks.

How is it in terms of weight and heat? Looks awesome, but would be really annoying to use if it is too heavy and hot .. Also, are you able to dim the screen far down (I'm thinking about reading in little light)?

[diggingforgold]

Weight is the same as the original T91, about 2lbs. It's doing very well when it comes to heat. It only gets just warm even when on Super Performance Mode and doing benchmarks. The hottest area seems to be right where the ram is. It's nowhere near as hot as my 900HA.

It said 3G at the top. Will this have 3G? Their website says it does but amazon doesnt mention it!

[diggingforgold]

No 3G. Probably won't be unless a carrier and ASUS team up and make a subsidized version.

I opened up the bottom cover and found a few things:

1) My unit is missing at least one wifi antenna that I can see. I have to completely disassemble it to find out more. Way to go ASUS.

2) My unit has the third mini-pci-express slot removed. There are solder points available, so you can solder on a slot if you wanted to. But as it is, there are only 2 slots (both used by SSD and Wifi).

Can someone confirm the palm/hand rejection in this model?

[diggingforgold]

There is none that I noticed (it's resistive).

However, since it's multitouch, if your stylus creates one point, and your palm creates another on accident, you can continue handwriting. Your palm will still create a touch point, but at least it won't go crazy or start writing between the two points like most single-touch screens do. The only exception is if your palm creates two points, and you attempt to make a third with the stylus. This screen can only do two points maximum simultaneously.

[tumama001]

At the 0:33 theres a part where you can supose it support palm rejection.

[diggingforgold]

Yeah, I was wondering what that's all about. In my testing, I'm noticing no palm rejection. It registers a palm just as easily a stylus or finger.

[diggingforgold]

Ok, just an update. In Journal, there's sort of palm rejection. It treats any dual touch as scroll, so when your palm touches and your stylus touches, it makes no marks.

I think it's program dependent how it handles multi-touches, because in Paint, it will detect and draw both touches.

[tumama001]

Could you test OneNote, if it works I think I will order one right away.

[diggingforgold]

OneNote does not work with palm rejection unless you rename the onenote.exe file and place it in the same folder as journal.exe (this is because ASUS jerry rigged a palm rejection utility to only work with two applications- Journal and Sticky Notes).

Pressure sensitivity, however, does work- but it's not pen-based. So it's not as accurate as an active digitizer. It also must be manually enabled in OneNote options.

[djguapo]

lol, this still says Home Premium-E!

[diggingforgold]

Nice catch, I didn't even see that myself.

The version that shipped with my T91MT included IE8, so it definitely wasn't Home Premium E.
