Sahara i400 tablet PC controls your lights, scans your fingerprints

tabletkiosk-sahara_i400.jpg

Sometimes you have to take it with you, and that's when the Sahara i400 by TabletKiosk makes its move. Unlike a laptop or even a standard PC, a tablet PC isn't meant for traditional PC applications like Web surfing, but it's ideal for going from room to room and running applications like a home theater or even your lights, heating, and A/C.

There's no keyboard; either a touchscreen or pressure-sensitive digitizer stands in. The i400 has a 12.1-inch XGA screen and a 179-degree viewing angle. It's just under an inch thick and weighs in at 3.3 pounds. Other extras include Bluetooth, a fingerprint reader, two USB ports, a PCMCIA slot, and a cradle connector. Ships in March about two Gs.

Tablet PCs are perfect for traditional PC applications especially like web surfing. My tablet quickly became my primary PC due to the enhanced capabilities it offers to "traditional PC applications".
