ASUS EEE PC T101MT CONVERTIBLE TABLET GETS ATOM N570 UPGRADE

The Asus Eee PC T101MT convertible tablet style netbook has been around for a while and now Asus has introduced a new version of the device. The Eee PC T101MT has a 10 inch display. When it launched almost a year ago, it sported a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 single core processor. The new model has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 dual core CPU.

The rest of the specs haven't changed much. The laptop still has 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and 4-cell or 6-cell battery options. The new model is expected to start shipping in mid-April for about 499 Euros.

The Asus Eee PC T101MT will ship with Windows 7 Home Premium in Europe. The model that is currently available in the US runs Windows 7 Starter. It is not clear whether the new model will be available in the US or what version of the OS it will run. Meanwhile, some retailers have already started taking orders for the Eee PC T101MT.
