Asus T101MT

The Lenovo S10-3t is a machine that moved me a little bit in thinking that I should get one of them. Reason? I commute to work on a daily basis. There is some spare time that I think I should utilize. I want a machine that can be a PC to run some software but when I am not using it as a PC, it can be converted into a reader for me to read books, lots of books. (Sounds something like an iPad. But the iPad runs only iPhone-based software)

S10-3t is the first netbook convertible that can let me runs some PC software (such as Office) and convert into a tablet, faking as a reader. Of course, it cannot compare directly with a reader with E-ink technology. But when you want the best of both worlds, you are stuck with some very few choices. (There is a new LCD technology that can act both ways as a color LCD and an e-ink display according to selection, which can truly convert a netbook into a tablet reader and vice versa. Really looking forward to that.) However, the form factor is a bit awkward.

T101MT has a predecesor, the T91MT. It is quite a good netbook but still the form factor is not suitable for reading. T101MT is a bit better. I wonder if it can be shrunk to a size even thinner. Then it can fend of some iPad competition.
