[Video] Hand-on with the Asus Eee PC T101MT Tablet

It’s been a few months since Asus first showed us the Eee PC T101MT tablet netbook, and now All Touch Tablet have gotten their hands on one for a little hands-on video and review.

The T101MT tablet is a follow up to the T91MT tablet but fortunately it swaps out the Z series Atom processor for a more powerful N450. Despite that, however, the tablet still struggled with video and consumed 10-15% of it’s processor capacity just sitting idle. The rest of the hardware consists of 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard-drive, together with WiFi 802.11n, a 4-cell 2400mAh removable battery and a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium

The Asus Eee PC T101MT still isn’t shipping to customers yet. But the folks at All Touch Tablet got their hands on a review unit of the first 10 inch touchscreen tablet-style netbook from Asus. And they’ve posted a short review of the laptop.

Asus wisely decided to drop the sluggish Intel Atom Z520 processor used in its 9 inch Eee PC T91MT tablet. Instead the T101MT has a faster 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail CPU and GMA 3150 graphics. It also packs 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

Build quality on this machine was decent, but not superb. There was little flex in the keyboard and a solid hinge that doesn’t feel like it’s going to break off but the hard drive is kind of noisy, and the touchscreen wasn’t very precise near the edge of the display — although this was possibly a defective screen on the demo unit.

Check out the unboxing video after the break.
