LaptopMag checks out touch-enabled Intel Classmate PC
Expect to see several new netbook models come out at the upcoming CES 2009 conference in Las Vegas (which we’ll be at to cover of course). Several companies are expected to introduce touch-enabled netbook systems – one of which is Intel Corporation with a tablet-styled Classmate PC system. The folks at LaptopMag managed to get some one on one time with the system (lucky them!) and yes – there are a lot of awesome pictures also. Here are some tidbits from the article:
- The system is being manufactured by CTL
- Top of the system is now a cool sky blue color
- Specs include 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 60GB HDD, 8.9 inch screen, and Windows XP
- Preloaded with touch-screen enabled software including “Vision Objects Pen Input” which performs handwriting recognition
- Touch-screen is responsive to both fingers and a stylus
- Built-in accelerometer
This certainly can be a great addition to kids around the world – but more importantly, this shows hardware manufacturers that touch-enabled netbooks can also be made generally available to all consumers.
