Toshiba joins hands with Intel to reveal tablet PC for education
Over the time, education has witnessed an increasing adaptation of technology for students to enrich themselves with the help of an enhanced classroom training. Now, Toshiba and Intel have jointly planned to commercialize an educational-use tablet PC designed to facilitate learning in education, the CM1.
Intel will be commercializing the CM1 to promote ICT education on a global basis with Toshiba. The tablet PC’s monitor rotates 180 degrees and equips a 10.1-inch touchscreen LCD (1366 x 768) that supports pen input with a slip-resistant rubber coating. The new solution now promises to enable students to practice handwriting and experience an enhanced learning process. The LCD comes with a power-saving LED backlight. Weighing approximately 1.8kg, students can easily carry it to their schools or learning centers. Apart from this, to foster the ICT environment, the companies have planned to demonstrate the CM1 tablet PC at schools.
The portable tablet PC is based on the Intel Learning Series hardware reference design and features Toshiba’s notebook PC attributes like robust, shock-resistant designs and low power consumption. With wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g/n, the device can wirelessly connect to electronic blackboards and projectors for an augmented use.
Other major highlights of the tablet PC are rotatory webcam, stereo speakers, microphone, two USB ports, one RGB, 100Base-TX/10Base-T, Windows 7 Professional 32-bit OS, Intel NM10 Express Chipset, Intel Atom Processor N450 (1.66 GHz), 160GB HDD, and 2GB memory.
The new CM1 tablet PC will be introduced in the beginning of August, 2010 in the Japanese market.
