User Reviews about Asus Eee PC T101MT-EU17-BK 10.1-Inch Convertible Tablet (Black)

Windows 7 is such a loser on this laptop because it makes it so pathetically slow.

However, erased the windows and installed ubuntu 10.04.1 on it.. And now it's amazing.
(check: [...])

Other things to note.
The processor is a 64 bit dual core intel Atom processor (WOW)
The ubuntu 10.04.1 distro and the steps listed in the link doesn't work with the 64 bit kernel. However, Maverick (10.10) coming out in october is expected to have the touchscreen drivers in the kernel and so the 64 bit will work (I tested the Alpha 3 release)

All in all, buy this laptop, chuck out the windows 7, and
install ubuntu on it..
Some other cool tools to use with ubuntu
xournal - note taking and pdf annotation
mypaint - drawing

Had an issue with the first piece amazon shipped me - the display just randomly tended to die occassionally.. I guess it was a loose contact or something. However, they were gracious and very promptly replace the piece. Haven't had any issues with the new piece. -- Works awesome with Linux (Ubuntu)

Hello!

First of all, I should say that I consider myself an average user. I'm not a tech guru, nor am I computer illiterate. I wanted something portable and fun to carry back and forth to school (I am a grad student and I also teach entry-level courses, in addition to a part time office job, and I have a long distance boyfriend I hoped to be able to skype with easily--so portability and versatility were my highest priorities to me.)

For those same reasons, I'm super happy with my purchase.

Details:
So far, I have upgraded to home premium, installed amazon kindle for PC, Office Suite 7, and a LapSync to keep it synced with my (much more powerful) desktop. I plan on upgrading the RAM as well, as others have done, because it's a bit slow opening documents and running more than 2 programs at a time, but with 1 G it's still a neat little machine.

I've used it about a week, between 6-8 hours a day. I email, surf the internet, work on Word, Excel, and OneNoe (often at the same time, which makes it a tad slow), streaming netflix, and reading on Kindle PC. I have horrible eyes, but reading on the back-lit screen for a few hours at a time doesn't bother me so far. It's also heavier than a eReader, but I also haven't been bothered by the extra half pound or whatever.

I should emphasize a few things: this should not be your primary machine. Typing for more than an a couple hours would drive me nuts. (for my wrist and arms) Also, I haven't tried any games on it or anything that takes a lot of power, and I don't think I'll try. I think of it as the computer I carry in my purse, rather than my computer.

Touch screen is fun, but be prepared to routinely calibrate thing if you plan on writing on it alot. I mostly use the touch screen when I'm using it as a reader or streaming video. -- Very good,though I recommend to upgrades

I purchased the T101MT because I wanted to have a touch screen/tablet that I could sign documents on. The touch screen works great with the finger and stylus however the screen is really loose on its hinge. If I use my finger on the screen it just flops backwards, same when using the stylus. The only time that doesn't happen of course is when I'm using it with the screen turned and folded over (using the T101MT as a tablet). It would have been really nice if the screen was a bit tighter.

I'm running a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium and haven't had another issues, aside from the screen being loose. It does everything I expected it to.
-- Nice but loose screen hinge makes it hard to use

I almost bought a $3000 Dell tablet - BOY AM I GLAD I CHOSE THIS TABLET INSTEAD!!!!

The Asus Eee PC T101MT-EU17-BK 10.1-Inch Convertible Tablet is one little workhorse of a machine. I have had mine for 24 hours and can't put it down.

I have ungraded the RAM myself - It was very easy to do, and I found a video tutorial on Youtube.

I was able to upgrade to Windows 7 home premium for about 80bucks. Got Acrobat reader and Office Professional Trial, plus Google Chrome, and Netflix player loaded up and they work fine.

Before mods it was a little slow....but since it has been nicely responsive.

The screen is a smidge small but that is exactly what I wanted. I need it light and portable. I plan to stow in my purse and go so I can bring with me to grad school. The main thing I want to be able to do that is annoying on a regular laptop is to read books, articles, and use handwriting to write on word files.

I am planning to get a monitor, and will hook up to my cordless keyboard and mouse for use at home at my desk. This way I can have the best of both worlds.

Read the reviews and watch all the videos about this device so you know how to modify it properly and you will love this machine!! -- If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!!

The product doesnt come out of the box all that great. You need to delete alot of bloatware and I would recommend getting Windows 7 Home Premium and adding a 2nd gig of ram after that this product is amazing. Runs very snappy for a netbook. You get what you pay for and more out of this product. But they have the worst tech support I have ever seen . I was updating my bios and somehow their software corrupted it so I sent it in. Instead of reading the letter we inserted in to what happened they assumed the problem was the ram and they wanted to charge us 95$ to replace it and it took us a month to get it through to them that they just needed to reflash the bios or put a new bios chip in it. The supervisors we talked to said they were emailing (they cant just call the service department they talk through emails) the service department about the bios being the problem but they really werent and it wasnt until we got someone very high that anything was done. They finally tried to reflash it like we said and what do you know it fixed it and it was on its way back the next day. But we had to argue for a month over it and they wouldnt do anything until we paid the 95$ for the ram. AWFUL SUPPORT! BEWARE! -- Nice product. Awful customer support
