Amazon.com Product Description
No matter how you prefer to input your data, the Compaq TC1100 Tablet PC has you covered. If you favor traditional computer methods, you can use the unit's flip-open keyboard. If you prefer working with a stylus, you can write and store information and sketch pictures in much the same way you would with a notepad and pen. Exceedingly versatile, incredibly compact and noticeably more capable than its less expensive sibling, the TC1000T, the TC1100 Tablet PC is an excellent choice for those who prioritize portability and ease of use. Tipping the scales at a mere 3.1 pounds (without removable keyboard) or 4 pounds (with keyboard attached) and sporting a miniscule .8-inch diameter (with keyboard detached), the TC1000T is one of the lightest and slimmest computers currently on the market. The system is equipped with an Intel 1.0 GHz Pentium M processor, 512 MB main memory, and an nVidia GeForce Go 420 graphics controller with 32 MB video memory. As such, it certainly isn't as powerful as most of today's larger, non-tablet notebooks, although its impressive 1 MB of Level 2 cache and generous alloent of RAM do help offset the relatively mediocre processor clock speed. Gamers, 3-D graphic designers and serious power users will definitely want to look elsewhere, though all others should find the unit packs substantial punch considering its compact size and versatility. If you need to handle especially large amounts of data, the TC1100 may not be for you. The system's 40 GB hard drive, though surprisingly large for a tiny tablet, is only average when compared to that of today's full-scale notebooks. Furthermore, the TC1100 has no optical drive. If you want to burn a CD or DVD or watch a DVD movie, you'll need to purchase a separate drive and connect it via the unit's convenient digital slot. Other amenities include a bright 10.4-inch XGA TFT display, a 56K dial-up modem, a 10/100 NIC for high-speed wired network access, integrated wireless LAN for cord-free networking and Internet communications, and an array of Command Control Buttons for one-touch access to important applications and utilities. Multimedia features include an integrated 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible stereo audio processor, two integrated speakers and microphone, external volume controls and a stereo headphone-out. The system's 6-cell Lithium-Ion battery delivers long life between charges.

No, it's not an iPad, it is much better. August 11, 2010
WriterGirl (Seoul, S. Korea)
I purchased my unit at [...] but I bought the 1GB RAM card, an extra battery, and a 160GB hard drive from Amazon. I also got Windows 7 Home Premium through a student discount. The total for my upgrade and unit was just under $500.00. This is an actual slate netbook. I just cannot understand paying so much for the iPad when I have a computer that does so much more. I bought a CrownCase hard shell carrying case for the Lenovo s10-3t that happens to fit this better, another $15. I used a seam ripper to remove the cloth side hinges so I can open the case to use my slate tablet. This is not a multitouch interface. You need to use the digital pen. It is not too fat for my slender fingers. The TC1100 is heftier than my HP Mini but I can detach the keyboard if I want to use it as an ereader while I travel. I use an external DVD drive to load my software like Norton Antivirus. The only drawback for me is no ethernet connection. However, it does have a wireless card and bluetooth. The glass seems sturdy and the casing has a nice feel to it. People zero in on this when I pull it out because they think it's an iPad. I think it is way better.
good tablet but gets warm February 24, 2010

I have used the tc1100 for a while. It is a nice tablet.
Using in tablet mode the unit gets warm under your palm.
Hand holding id very difficult without blocking the vents that dissipate the heat.The small keyboard is lousy
Has eliminated legal pads for my consulting company!!! August 29, 2006

For all the people NOT using tablet pc's, I got to tell you that the HW and SW works great as a place to write extensive handwritten notes with searchable key words and dates.
This is also a great basic windows xp machine with some of the best laptop speakers I have heard.
The actually usefulness of voice recognization was a complete surprise.
The biggest downside is it is still running Windows. So rebooting evey few days is to be expected.
HP TC1100 Tablet computer usefull but complex March 10, 2005

I am in the US Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq and we ordered 10 of these tablets to use for an anti-corruption agency in the Iraqi government. I also ordered the rather expensive docking stations, BUT DID NOT THINK TO read the fine print in the online ordering system that said there was NO CD OR DVD unit. So, I have 10 boat anchors here in Baghdad until I can find the "multibay" Cd dvd unit that inserts into an empty drawer of the docking station. If you don't get the docking station, you will need to buy an external, USB connected cd / DVD unit - about $180. The manual is simplistic so it takes awhile to figure out all the hidden features. For instance, I couldn't find any usb ports on the tablet. Finally saw another fellow and he had opened this flip open "door" that hid the ports - mine was hard to open, so I thought it was for adding memory and never tried to force it. No, I didn't see anything in the tiny manual that showed it. Now, after waiting over 2 weeks to get just one multibay cd dvd unit, I could finally load software. And, the tablet does NOT COME with even an eval copy of Microsoft Office, so you have no Word, etc. until you load new software. Same goes for antivirus software - there is no starter or eval copies. They provide a Zinio document reader which is a service to subscribe to digital magazines like Business Week. I subscribed, and could never download the content, so canceled. Try downloading a free magazine and make sure that works before you subscribe to anything. Next, the provided stylus, or pressure pen is proprietary and you have to use it to write on the slate surface. Thus if you lose it, you can only use the keyboard. So get 1-2 extra pressure pens. The docking station is complex, so look at pics on the hp website so you know it is more than a bar at the back with ports. It has an articulating arm to hold the tablet in the air at adjustable angles for writing. It has that one multibay port (and no floppy drive is provided either, so you would have to get a floppy multibay optional drive that only works in the docking station if you needed one).
Make sure you get 512mb - some places sell ones with 256k, and upgrade it even more. And, since speed is about 1 gz, it may be too slow for games or heavy graphic applications. Read all the details on hps site since amazon doesn't provide them. However, I found it much easier to order stuff form Amazon than HP - they really don't want to deal with small customers and won't ship to apo addresses - Amazon does. But, this little computer, without the detachable keyboard, weighs just 3 pounds, and is worth the work to get it running.
Much improved November 29, 2004

The last time I tried the tablet PC, I almost bought one. As an early adopter, I really like the idea, but I just couldn't justify the expense. I spent some time with it and it was definitely neat concept. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify the cost. Why not just scan you handwritten notes in?
One year later, I have purchased one and I love it. HP makes the lightest convertible tablet pc available. The Tablet PC is now reaching critical mass for usefulness. The Tablet PC XP OS (free upgrade from Microsoft) has better handwriting recognition, and more features.
The tablet PC makes a good e-book reader. You can purchase and download books from Amazon almost instantly. I was able to download several books for reading during a Thanksgiving trip. Unlike the PC version of Microsoft Reader, you can highlight and annotate with the pen.
Next, a client emailed me a contract in a Word document. Using ink annotation, I "signed" it in blue ink, then printed it out to a PDF file and emailed it back to my client. I didn't print out the contract, sign it, file it, scan it, and then fax it like I usually do. I like the productivity boost.
Additionally, I installed most of the tools I use on my server, and using remote desktop I'm not chained to a desk anymore if I want to compile code. I can roam around the house.
This tablet also has build in wireless. You can now get free wireless access in a lot of public libraries, and you can purchase internet access at Starbucks.
If you take lots of handwritten notes, the tablet PC is for you, especially in a classroom setting. However, you will definitely be answering lots of questions, as it does attract a fair amount of attention.
The original Compaq TC1000 tablet was slow, sparkly, and difficult to justify. The TC1100 is much improved. The processor is fast enough to keep up with my scribbles. Applications load quickly, and the screen is sparkle free.
I would highly recommend if you have the business requirement for a Tablet PC.
