System requirements

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is the operating system that comes preinstalled on every new Tablet PC. Because of the special hardware features of a Tablet PC, the operating system cannot be purchased separately for installation on any PC. In order for a computer manufacturer to install this operating system, the new hardware must meet the minimum system requirements of Windows XP Professional and also meet the following Tablet PC-specific requirements:

  • An electromagnetic digitiser:

      The electromagnetic digitiser is a special panel that sits behind the screen and communicates with a special pen. Because of the digitiser's high resolution, handwriting recognition is more accurate and ink looks more realistic. Unlike a resistive-touch screen, the digitiser makes it possible to rest your hand on the screen while writing.

  • Optimised power states:

      Tablet PCs have the ability to resume from standby in about 5 seconds.

  • Screen rotation: Microsoft Tablet PC - The evolution of the Notebook PC - brought to you by Readycrest Ltd - the HP Centre of Excellence for Kent

      Tablet PCs support rotating the screen between portrait and landscape views without restarting. With the push of a button, the screen rotates from one orientation to the other.

  • Surprise undocking:

      Tablet PCs support "grab and go," the ability to undock from a docking station without having to notify your system.

  • Legacy-free hardware:

      Tablet PCs do not include external serial or parallel ports. USB ports are provided.

  • A hardware button for logging on to Windows:

      Tablet PCs provide quick and secure logon procedures using a single CTRL+ALT+DEL button.
