Just when you think that the CES 2009 party is finally over with almost all the netbook and technology related blogs and sites giving their CES 2009 reports, here comes our favorite Joanna Stern with some more video goodies straight from Las Vegas.

Joanna was so lucky to be there and was able to get some hands-on with the Asus Convertible Eee PC T91 and Eee PC T101H as well as the new MSI Wind U120H.

Here are the highlights of Joanna’s brief encounter with the said netbook products at CES

Eee PC T91

• compact keyboard
• wider trackpad
• absence of accelerometer for rotating the screen when in tablet mode

Eee PC  T101H

• sturdier hinge than the T91
• loaded with Asus’ touch software

MSI Wind U120H

If you find yourself wanting to hook up your netbook to a larger display screen to give it a desktop feel occasionally, then you might be interested with what Samsung has launched at the CES 2009. These products are the Syncmaster D190SU and D220SU monitors which according to Samsung were designed for use by notebook and netbook users.

The two monitors can be connected easily to your notebook or netbook using of course the USB port. It’s a simple way of expanding the display screen of your netbook. Although it is rather a bit odd that netbook users would want to use this because, it defeats the purpose of having a netbook, still it could be an interesting device to have especially now that the trend is having a dual monitor connected to a PC.

The SyncMaster D190SU is a 19-inch monitor while the D220SU is a 22-inch display screen. No pricing information and release dates are available yet. The monitors have DisplayLink’s USB graphics technology which makes it possible to connect them to your netbooks.
