Asus Eee PC T91 expected on shelves this week

According to various dealers, Asus’ Eee PC T91 has shipped to the US and should hit shelves throughout the week. The touch-screen netbook features an 8.9” LED backlit display with a resolution of 1024x600, as well as a swivel mechanism that allows it to double as a tablet device. It will house an Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, Intel US15W chipset, 1 to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 16GB SSD, 16GB SD card and 20GB of online storage which will be free for 18 months.


Other specifications include its 802.11 b/g/n wireless adapter, 10/100 Ethernet adapter, Bluetooth 2.1, VGA port, 3-in-1 card reader, .3 megapixel camera, integrated mic, headphone/mic jacks and stereo speakers. The T91 weighs approximately .96kg (2.12lbs), its battery is reported to last as long as 5 hours. It will ship with Windows XP and an optional 3G data connectivity, GPS and DVB-T TV tuner.

I haven’t seen any official US pricing but converting the UK price of £449 and £499 gives an approximate cost of $734 to $815. Several dealers have an “available” or “due” soon notice on the page further enforcing that the T91 can be yours this week.
