Another way to turn an Eee PC into a tablet

eee-pc-tablet

Some crazy Japanese hackers decided to turn an Asus Eee PC 4G (with a 7 inch display and 4GB of storage) into a tablet. Nothing new there. You can buy a kit that will let you do the same thing yourself. But there’s something different about this hack – the guys behind it decided to keep the keyboard. They just moved it out of the way of the screen.

The results are kind of ugly horrific. But for about $128 in parts, it looks like you can turn a cheap netbook into a cheap tablet, complete with a touchscreen and somewhat usable keyboard.
