Powered by Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, the Tablet PC V1100 combines a high-powered, Ultra Low Voltage Mobile Intel® Pentium® III Processor-M and lightweight design with built-in wireless capability to deliver all the benefits of a fully functional portable PC. The V1100's ergonomic "slate" design supports the user's grip and handwriting, allowing mobile professionals to easily and naturally take, convert, organize and e-mail notes, whether they are sitting at their desks or on the road. The added convenience of speech and keyboard input, coupled with the mobility of traditional desktop applications, enables users to more effectively facilitate key business activities such as managing tasks and accessing data from remote locations.

"The V1100 incorporates what mobile users want most, including the ability to interact directly with their Windows applications, bringing mobile technology one step closer to becoming display-centric."
The Tablet PC V1100 features the latest Ultra Low Voltage Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor - M at 866 MHz, along with 256MB RAM, 20GB hard drive and a 56Kbps modem, to deliver a powerful computing experience. It features a full color 10.4-inch display and up to a three-hour battery life, but weighs just 3 pounds and is less than one inch thick. This lightweight design combined with an embedded 802.11b wireless solution redefine PC mobility. An optional dock adds one-touch access to common USB peripherals, local area networks, and includes an integrated CD-ROM. A suite of accessories includes an extended battery, battery charger, USB keyboard and handgrips for added protection.

"The ViewSonic Tablet PC V1100's sleek slate design will enable customers to experience immediate productivity gains by using their familiar PC applications more often and in different situations than ever before."
"Intel is pleased to work with ViewSonic on the new Tablet PC V1100, delivering the full mobile PC experience in a sleek form factor," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager, Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "The Ultra Low Voltage Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor - M enables great performance and long battery life for the Tablet PC V1100 fanless slate design with integra
ted wireless capabilities, demonstrating the power, flexibility and productivity benefits of mobile computing."
