CTL 2Go PC convertible early impressions

Brad Linder — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:23:48 +0000

The folks at CTL were kind enough to send me a 2Go PC convertible netbook/tablet to play with for the next few days. I'll have a full review soon, but after playing with the computer for a few hours, I wanted to share a few initial thoughts: Con: The keyboard is awfully small and takes some getting used to. This...

CTL 2Go PC convertible netbook reviewed

Brad Linder — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:11:30 +0000

The CTL 2Go PC convertible tablet/netbook is one of the first sub-$500 touchscreen tablet PCs to hit the market. The mini-laptop is based on the third version of Intel's Classmate PC design and while it's not quite as rugged as early versions of the Classmate PC, it is much more versatile thanks to its 8.9 inch touchscreen display, accelerometer, and...

Intel is officially launching the Classmate PC 3 reference design today at CES (although this isn't exactly the first time we've seen it).

CTL to ship Classmate 3 netbook tablet in January

Brad Linder — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:58:33 +0000

The next generation of Intel's Classmate PC design looks a lot like the second generation in that the netbook has a rugged design, an 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU and runs Windows XP. But there's one major difference: It has a touchscreen display that can swivel 180 degrees and be folded down so...

Classmate 3 tablet style netbook hits the FCC web site

Brad Linder — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:04:34 +0000

The first and second generation of Intel's Classmate PC designs were quite obviously designed for educational markets. Like most netbooks, the Classmate PCs tend to have 7 to 9 inch displays, full (if a bit cramped) keyboards, and a clamshell laptop design. But unlike most netbooks, the Classmate PC tends to feature a ruggedized design that makes it a bit...

Intel unveils Classmate PC tablet

Brad Linder — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:42:07 +0000

Intel has finally developed a version of the Classmate PC that I actually want to own. Granted, the Classmate PC and the Classmate 2 aren't really designed for me or for you. They were designed for educational markets. But that hasn't stopped companies like CTL from selling computers based on the Classmate design directly to consumers. But the Classmate tablet...

Intel: Classmate 3 coming soon

Brad Linder — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:07:38 +0000

It seems like just yesterday that Intel announced a major update to its OLPC-not-quite-killer, the Classmate PC. Now the company is poised to shake things up for a second time this year. PC World is reporting that Intel will announce details of the Classmate 3 laptop next month. While the Classmate 2 has a larger screen, more storage, and a...
