Intel's touchscreen netbook arriving January
Posted on 16 Dec 2008 at 11:51
Intel will officially take the covers off its touchscreen Classmate netbook at the Consumer Electronic Show in January.
Intel is touting the new Classmate as a "netvertible" device, due to its ability to swivel the 8.9in, 1024 x 600 screen into a tablet PC design.
The new classmate runs on Windows XP, however, Intel has announced that it will be signing deals with a number of software providers to load the netbook with touchscreen-enabled applications. Early demonstrations have shown a virtual keyboard, quick launch bar and application that can turn handwriting into editable text.
Beneath the hood, the Classmate is powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM and 60 GB hard drive. There's also a built in accelerometer, SD slot, two USB ports and a video output.
