The top business picks from CES 2009

Asus Eee PC T91 Convertible Tablet
With its first Eee PC — one of the big hits at last year's CES — Asus helped launch the worldwide netbook market into the stratosphere in 2008. This year at CES, Asus unveiled a new model called the Eee PC T91 that features a touchscreen and a flipdown convertible tablet display. Asus has tweaked the tablet interface so you can use a standard stylus, but also made it a touchscreen that responds to human hand gestures.

The T91 runs on a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor, is an inch thick, weighs about 0.9kg, and has an 8.9-inch screen with LED backlighting. In addition, it includes a built-in TV tuner and GPS.

The product is expected to be released during the first half of 2009, but pricing information has not yet been released. With all the features being packed in to this product, some are concerned that the price will be so high that it will no longer be priced like a netbook. However, Asus chief executive Jonney Shih has said the company is committed to making the price very attractive.
