Amazingly light at portable at just under 4 pounds, the ViewSonic TPCV1250S-1303 convertible Tablet PC will help you keep productive wherever you go--from roaming the office to far-flung business trips. You'll be able to take notes directly on the 12.1-inch screen with the included stylus, or used the keyboard for advanced input functions. It features a battery-sipping 1 GHz Intel Pentium M processo with Centrino technology, which provides up to a 3-hour battery life. It also includes a 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, multi-format memory card reader, and 54g wireless connectivity. It also includes a combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
The Basics
Hard Drive: The 40 GB hard drive is smaller in comparison to other business-oriented notebooks, but is understandable with such a compact Tablet PC. However, it will offer a decent enough capacity for storing documents and productivity software for road warriors--though not much multimedia storage.
Processor: The ultra-low voltage 1.0 GHz Pentium M (Centrino) processor helps preserve battery life and is equivalent in speed to a 1.4 GHz Pentium 4-M (mobile). The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It has a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, DDR SDRAM, 266 MHz) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB).
CD/DVD Drive: The TPCV1250S-1303 includes a combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, enabling you to watch DVD movies and burn your favorite music mixes to CD.
Keyboard & Mouse: This Tablet PC has a 101-key compatible keyboard, five easy-launch keys, built-in scroll button, and a full-size stylus with eraser to access the touch screen. Screen, Graphcs and Sound The XGA 12.1-inch LCD can be positioned like a typical notebook PC screen, but it can also swivel from side to side for better viewing of presentations. It can also lay flat with the screen facing up, enabling you to use this Tablet PC as an electronic notepad. It has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. It has an integrated AGP 4x video/graphics card and an integrated sound card.
Connectivity and Expansion Slots The TPCV1250S has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. You get a basic offering of connectivity options, which does include super-fast USB 2.0 and Firewire:

1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
