The overarching goal of business in the IT world is the adoption of a digital, paperless office. Tablet PCs represent yet another step toward that goal and according to Axiz, the Acer C300 series is a significant step forward as it offers full-size convertibility in a stylishly slim, lightweight unit. Available immediately for R19 999 including VAT, the Acer TM C300 series represents an evolution of the traditional notebook.
"With mobile power users permanently on the move, true portability means bringing advance features into the hands of business professionals. Featuring Intel`s revolutionary Centrino mobile technology, a large rotating screen, full-sized keyboard and all the benefits of tablet technology, the TM C300 series is ideal for self-employed and professional users from small, medium and large organisations looking for a fully flexible notebook," says Alex Morse, Acer product manager at Axiz.
"Coupled with the efficiency and convenience of electronic ink and character recognition for daily work, the TM C300 gives users the best of both worlds, notebook convenience when in the office and tablet functionality away from your desk."
The TM C300 is the first Tablet PC to feature a large 14.1-inch XGA (1 024 x 768) TFT LCD screen, supporting up to 16.7 million colours to give presentations even greater impact. The rotating screen can quickly transform into a writing surface which is ideal for taking notes, annotating documents or completing online forms. Additionally, it features one of most advanced character recognition engines available for scanning, searching and indexing handwritten documents.
By bringing handwriting recognition features of ordinary tablets to an even larger audience, the TM C300 lets users experience the sudden surge in efficiency from the use of electronic ink in any office document, allowing them to revise, edit, and repurpose handwritten notes after writing them on the computer screen with the stylus while on the move.
The TM C300`s Intel`s latest Centrino Mobile Technology for enhanced portability, integrated and flexible connectivity and enhanced battery life. Complete with Intel Pentium M processor, 512 (2x256)MB DDR memory, up to 60GB enhanced-IDE hard disk drive, the TM C300 guarantees superior power independence while the seven-hour battery life provides all the wireless freedom you need.
Shipped with Microsoft`s tablet XP OS, the Acer TM C300 series includes a specialised version of XP that changes the way users interact with mobile computers. "It`s a full version of XP with additional features for tablet pen-based computing, which runs on all XP compatible applications, including Word and Excel," says Morse.
In addition, the integrated AcerMedia bay enables users to hot swap between optical drives, optional second hard drive or battery eliminating time-wasting reboots and reducing TCO to a minimum.
