Teknoblog.com – Intel’s Convertible Classmate netbook, which will be released in 2009, will be showcased for the first time at CES. The editor of Laptopmag.com talked to Intel officials and examined this new netbook closely. He especially admired Intel’s customization of the operating system and some touchscreen applications.
As you can see above, the Convertible Classmate is a touchscreen netbook. Indeed, Laptopmag editor Joanna is also puzzled by how the Windows XP Home operating system, which dislikes touchscreens and Tablet PCs, works so well. It seems that Intel has also included its own software to fully highlight the advantages of the (passive) touchscreen.
In addition, since the screen does not respond to the touch with the palm, the possibility of touching the wrong parts of the screen and opening different applications is eliminated. In addition, you can write on the screen with the stylus pen that comes with the netbook.
