Now days, people spend more time outside of their office than they do in it, either on business trips or socializing with family and friends. However, you want to be available where ever you are needed, and you want access to your documents without having to lug around a heavy or expensive laptop. This is where inexpensive laptop computers come in, as there are many designed to suit this purpose without breaking the bank.

Perhaps the most suitable PC for this market is the computer writing tablet, which is a cross between a laptop and a tablet PC. This style of computer is great for anyone who has an artistic side as they are touch screen and the screen folds quickly over the keyboard for drawing, or just for touch screen motions so you don’t have to fondle with a keypad.

The Asus Eee PC T91MT-PU17-BK is the first in a generation of new portable computers that are going with a touchscreen, making them more affordable to the main stream population. In fact, when looking at the specs of this particular computer at a glance, you might not notice anything different from the traditional netbook. It has an 8.9″ screen with a 32GB sol#id state dr#ive, a 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, all of which are the new netbook standard. However, This Eee PC features a foldable touchscreen that brings the future of computing to the netbook genre.

If you are looking for something that is a little less like a netbook and more on the tablet PC side of things, then the Archos 9 PC Tablet is probably exactly what you are looking for. Boasting an 8.9″ LED display and a 1.2GHz processor, it is only slightly less powerful than a traditional netbook while offering you the full features of a tablet PC. The controls are all done using a stylus, with buttons on the side of the device for left and right click, making it a breeze to use. It has a 60GB hard drive which is rather small by industry standards and it’s not solid state, so keeping this thing off of the floor is a real risk with a moving hard drive. With up to five hours of battery and VGA output, this tablet PC goes just a little bit further than the standard netbook in terms of offering connectivity with your other devices.

Of course, if you are used to using a capacitive touchscreen like an iPhone or an iPod Touch, the resistive style screen of the Eee PC will take some getting used to, but overall it is a great experience and a great device to have with you do perform any of the computing tasks you need to while on the go. In fact, the future seems to be moving towards touchscreen technology, so doesn’t it make sense to own a computer writing tablet with touchscreen technology?

No matter which sort of device you are looking to purchase, finding a tablet PC or a netbook under the price range of $500 should be no problem for anyone who is needing a cheap alternative to carrying around a larger, more expensive laptop.
