Mobile Tech Minutes: Intel Classmate Convertible PC

I am a sucker for small Tablet PC form factors and have often thought that such a form in a netbook would be pretty sweet. Intel sent me their netbook designed for students and I have to admit it’s a pretty darn good Tablet. The Classmate PC comes in two forms, a typical notebook clamshell and the convertible model which I just received for evaluation. The screen swivels 180 degrees so the Classmate can be used as a notebook or a slate and it is well-designed.

This video was shot literally minutes after the Classmate showed up at Mobile Tech Manor so you get to delight along with me as I discover new things about it. The evaluation unit is configured as follows:

1.6 GHz Atom
1 GB memory
60 GB HDD
8.9″ touchscreen (palm rejection); 1024 x 600 (auto-rotate)
2 USB; 1 Ethernet; 1 VGA; Audio in/ out
1.3 MP webcam (rotates 180 degrees)
Windows XP Home
