Intel Classmate PC is not the Classmate PC 3.0! But it will be considered as the next-gen or new model of Classmate PCs by Intel. Well, it is reasonable if Intel Tablet Classmate PC is considered as the rival of Gigabyte M912V tablet because, both are low-cost and come with the similar specs.
Convertible Classmate PC will be available along Classmate PC 2.0 in the market. It will sport Atom N270 processor of 1.6 GHz LCD screen, 8.9 "touch screen display with 1,204 x 600 pixels resolution, flash memory and disk options, 2USB ports, Video out put, SD slot, Ethernet LAN, Mic and headphone jacks.
There are two interesting features mentioned by the source:
- A white button sitting next to screen to rotate the image on the screen.
- The webcam can rotate forward to capture images better.
In the following you can see a video released by Intel and get more acquainted with this upcoming mini Tablet.
At a glance, I can mention three differences between Gigabyte M912V tablet and Convertible Classmate PC. First of all Gigabyte M912V targets adult users mainly, but Intel Classmate are only focused on Students. For this reason, you can find Gigabyte M912V with different designs to attract different types of users but Classmate PC carries a design suitable for students.
Also, the important difference comes in the matter of their Touch screen displays. In fact, Gigabyte M912V as I motioned in my previous entry doesn’t have a very responsive and sensitive screen. However, it will be enough for adult users (especially the adults will use the stylus) but the matter of a Tablet device for children looks more complicated. For writing, children have to put their palm first and then write down but, this style creates problems for touch screen displays. On standard touch screen displays you have to lift your hand up and then write down which sounds very uncomfortable. In this case, Intel has solved this problem and made it totally ok for its Tablet Classmate PC. So, children can easily lay down their hands on the screen and write down as like they usually do with their notebooks.
Additionally, Classmate PC laptops are rugged and durable.
Surely, in coming days we will know more about Convertible Classmate PC. Please, keep in touch for further information.
