Think Asus Eee PC is cool? Well, HCL and Microsoft has teamed up to roll out as part of HCL?s MiLeap brand of HCL Leaptops. It will be running Windows XP Home, weigh less than 1kg, and have a 7-inch TFT LCD touch-screen.
The screen will be able to be rotated converting the notebook into a tablet, and yes, it?s a touchscreen, it will respond to a stylus and the software will include handwriting recognition software for taking notes. The whole system will be powered by an Intel ULV processor with Intel?s 945 GU Express chipset.
Other features of the notebook including a 1.3MP camera, 1GB of DDR2, touchpad, two mouse buttons, scroll, directional pads, dedicated softkeys for things like WMP, speakers, WiFi, Ethernet, and a full sized keyboard. This is shaping up to be the Tablet PC I?ve been dreaming of but with the price of a budget PC at about $425 when converted! This is certainly the cheapest Windows-based tablet I?ve seen so far.
