SSD, wireless connectivity, battery life, size, weight, start-up time, durability and multi-media compatibility are the key features of a good netbook. If you assess all the available options against these key criteria, the eee PC 901 Linux is still the benchmark. The Dell machine came close, but lacks 802.11n. Advent of built-in GPS and TV tuner sounds like fun, tho not 100% practical yet until we get battery life like a mobile phone (12 hours plus of heavy use).

The T101H will come with a swiveling monitor and it will also feature a revamped keyboard based off of Sonys chicklet design. The resolution for the new netbooks will still be 1024×600. They are basically the 901 and 1000 models with convertible touchscreens.

Without swivel, touch screen is half dead. :)
1″ difference in monitor size doesn’t matter much to me.. I would rather like to know the resolution of both netbooks.
I wonder if the info about the HDD size is correct because I heard that T91 will have 160G HDD on a youtube movie taken in CES 2009. But I wish your info were correct. I think, for mobility’s sake, netbook should have SSD instead of HDD.

Dave, I would definitely go for the swivel screen. Being able to place the entire netbook in my lap like a notebook would allow me the ability to write easily on the screen if I need to and to take notes easily. Great story. Can’t wait til they’re out!
