As Acer continues to climb the ranks in the world’s top hardware manufacturers (they’re number three for the people keeping track at home) they’re adding plenty of new products to their lineup, including this tablet PC. Dubbed the T91, early reports suggested the tablet might run as much as $700. Today we found out, though, that the T91 will sell for just $500.
The real unfortunate news is that this is the single-touch version running Windows XP, not that sexy new multi-touch running Windows 7. And if this one is $500, I hate to think what the multi-touch version is going to cost. Probably more than I care to spend on a netbook.
As for specs, $500 will get you the standard netbook fare. The T91 comes with an Atom Z520 processor clocked at 1.33Ghz, a 16GB SSD, a gig of ram and Bluetooth and 802.11n for wireless. Not a bad bundle, just hard to justify when a multi-touch can be far off.
