A new type of notebook PC, the Tablet PC combines the power and 
functionality of today’s notebook PCs with next-generation pen-based 
and wireless mobile technologies to give teachers and students new 
capabilities that can improve the learning experience. 
Built to serve as a primary PC, the Tablet PC can be attached to a 
standard keyboard, monitor, and mouse for easy computing at the 
desktop. Capable of running all Windows XP–compatible applications, 
the Tablet PC offers the full power of a desktop computer, and more:
•  Windows XP Professional Edition Operating System: The Tablet PC 
takes advantage of the full functionality of Windows XP Professional 
Edition, plus additional enhancements to enable pen-and-ink computing.
•  Ink-Enabled Applications: The Tablet PC is the foundation of a new 
generation of digital pen-and-ink learning applications.
•  Tablet and Pen Settings: Tablet PC settings can be optimized for left-  
or right-handedness and pen calibration. Screen orientation can be 
adjusted to landscape or portrait to match teacher or  
student preference.
The Mobility of the Tablet PC 
By delivering the full power and functionality of a desktop PC in an 
ultra-mobile form factor, the Tablet PC is redefining wireless mobile 
productivity. For teachers, the Tablet PC is a mobile work station where 
they can create classroom presentations, annotate papers, keep their 
students up-to-date on classroom materials and grades, and much 
more—whether at school or at home. For students, the Tablet PC can  
turn almost any location into a remote classroom or study hall where 
they can access the resources they need to succeed. 
Today’s Tablet PC offers a wide range of features that make mobile 
computing easier than ever:

teachers and students anywhere and at anytime.

immediate access to the full power of a mobile PC.

PC without having to change to a standby or hibernate state.
•  Wireless Network Support: Windows XP zero-configuration wireless 
support makes it easy for students and teachers to access wireless 
networks and stay connected to the information they need while in 
the classroom or at home. 
•  Longer Battery Life: Advances in battery and chip technology 
combined with Windows XP power-management features enable 
teachers and students to take advantage of the mobile computing 
power of the Tablet PC for longer periods of time.
The Versatility of the Tablet PC
The Tablet PC provides new features and capabilities that make it an 
ideal educational tool for teachers, students, and administrators. From 
convertible models with built-in keyboards to slate-style tablets with 
innovative docking solutions that provide keyboard access, today’s 
Tablet PCs provide the utmost in portable, flexible computing power:
•  Natural Computing: Digital pen-and-ink technology enables users to 
control the Tablet PC as easily with a pen as with a mouse or key-
board. Speech recognition allows users to take advantage of voice 
commands to dictate notes and control their Tablet PC.
•  Windows Journal: Features of this note-taking utility include the  
ability to search handwritten notes using keywords, import documents, 
flag important items, and convert notes to text. Because it makes it 
easy to share notes, Windows Journal can also improve collaboration 
between teachers and students.
•  Tablet PC Input Panel: Enter text into any application and view, 
annotate, and share images, equations, presentations, and more.
•  Gestures: Use the digital pen to make “gestures” that complete 
common tasks. 
•  Sticky Notes: Write notes and reminders on the desktop, in Word 
documents, or any other OLE-enabled application.
