Especially since you can rotate the pages with just a button on the tablet, and change the brightness etc.......and stow away the keyboard with a flip.
I love the idea!
Wishing they were in the stores to compare to each other. I got so impatient, I looked up the dimensions of both, and plotted it out on paper to compare the sizes of the units and the screens. 
I liked both - so it's really down to the price and the Pine Trail processor, I think.
I go back and forth over the solid state versus having 250GB storage onboard....
I'll just have to be patient and see what happens in the next month! lol |
If you're looking for something for full size PDF's this is going to be really nice for you! I got lucky - we have a Tiger Direct/CompUSA warehouse about an hour and a half from where I live. They have a retail outlet attached, and if you want to see something that isn't on the retail floor, they'll get it out of the warehouse for you.
I too went back and forth over the SSD vs. the 250 gigs storage, (we were looking at a Gigabyte 1028T as well as the Asus), but finally decided that since I was going to use mine mainly as a reader, and it has two SDHC slots, I'd continue to put my books on SDHC cards and store them that way for ultimate portability (and easy backups). So far I haven't regretted that in the least.
I need a different case for my Asus T91MT, though. The one it comes with is pretty flimsy and if I'm going to take it out this spring, I need something sturdier.
