<\/a>The computer of my dreams may not exist, but I think I\u2019ve found one that comes close. The Asus T91MT<\/a><\/span> is a netbook that converts into a tablet. It seems great in terms of portability, use for typing, use for reading, as well as web browsing and e-mail and everything else one wants to do on a computer or mobile device. And it has a steady state drive (although one can go with a larger capacity hard drive if one prefers).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
For me, typing and reading are key uses, which makes anything smaller less appealing, since typing with one\u2019s thumbs may be useful in certain circumstances, but if you\u2019re writing a paper or article, I think the \u201cinconvenience\u201d of having to pull a device out of a backpack or briefcase rather than a coat pocket is more than counterbalanced by the convenience of a larger keyboard.<\/div>\n
