Mirus Educational Schoolmate Convertible 8.9″ Tablet Netbook - Silver (TARCT9XP) Review

Mirus Educational Schoolmate Convertible 8.9" Tablet Netbook - Silver (TARCT9XP)
I had been following the OLPC, Netbook, Classmate, Netablet movement with great interest, but hadn’t pushed the buy button until I saw that the Intel Powered Convertible Classmate PC was available from Mirus/Target via Amazon. I bought this for the 3 year-old since he’s always fighting with his sister over use of her laptop. First impression is that it’s small (it’s a netbook, not a laptop). Configuration didn’t seem to complete correctly initially so the auto screen rotation didn’t work until after a reboot. Everything seems to work ok, it’s a very dense little package so it seems a little heavy for it’s size. I think I would prefer Windows 7 with Ink, but I haven’t really tried using the MyScript that comes preinstalled with XP Home. I think it will be really cool with the right software installed.

Archos 9 PC Tablet (Black)

Archos 9 PC Tablet (Black) Review

Archos 9 PC Tablet (Black)
This device is Archos’ answer to the iPad and other tablets, and it suceeds on most levels. First, the screen is matte, which while is not as OMG looking as glossy screens, makes the screen more readable since it reduces glare. The screen is pretty responsive for a resistive screen, but the styles is the worst I’ve seen. The tablet has a webcam and USB port, but you’ll have to buy Archos’ dock to get video out and more USB ports. The device is solidly built. Programs start up pretty quickly (a couple seconds). Google Earth runs fairly well (until you add variables like weather, etc, then it slows down). Flash is iffy, while regular resolution Youtube videos run okay, Hulu and Crunchyroll videos running badly (I guess Adobe will fix that with 10.1). I’ve tried Bejeweled 2, which runs slowly, but still playable. HD videos are a big problem because the device uses hardware acceleration, so you can’t use VLC or Mplayer to play mkv files. Regular DVD resolution video runs fine. This device makes a great ereader since you can install your own reader programs like Kindle, BN, whatever. This device really shines a comic viewer–just install your favorite comic viewer, right click on the screen to get to graphics options and rotate it 90 degrees, viola, awesome comic book/manga reader. PDFs load quickly and nicely too.

ASUS Eee PC T91MT 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life

ASUS Eee PC T91MT 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC T91MT 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life
I have owned my T91mt for 2 weeks now and it is my favorite computer ever. As mentioned in several other reviews - it is not a powerhouse. But for the price to have a Tablet PC - it is incredible.

It does everything I need and more. I did purchase the memory upgrade - be sure you turn the boot booster off before installing (directions in the owners manual) and I bought 32GB of extra storage space. But with that it holds everything that my old powerhouse laptop held.

      The Asus fills a gap precisely determined. He sits at the kitchen table ready to do a quick search on movietimes, check mail, check the recipe MapQuest.
