Amazon.com Product Description
No matter how you prefer to input your data, the Compaq TC1000T Tablet PC has you covered. If you favor traditional methods, the TC1000T is packaged with a flip-open keyboard with isolated, inverted T-cursor control keys and right control key. If you'd rather work with a stylus and interactive tablet, the unit allows you to write and store information, sketch pictures and annotate documents via your own handwriting. Versatile and adaptable, the TC1000T is ready to handle any situation and user preference. Certainly Compaq has designed its latest tablet PC with portability in mind. Tipping the scales at a mere 3 pounds and sporting a miniscule .8-inch diameter (with keyboard detached), the TC1000T is one of the lightest and slimmest computers currently on the market. Surprisingly, this level of mobility does not come at the expense of performance. The system is equipped with a low-heat 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 processor (512 KB Level 2 cache), 256 MB of Random Access Memory (upgradeable to 768), a 16 MB nVidia GeForce2Go video graphics processor, and a spacious 30 GB hard drive. Although this setup won't suffice for serious gamers or graphic designers, it's more than enough for standard mobile computing tasks and business and home applications. The distinctive TC1000T sports several other desirable amenities, including a bright 10.4-inch XGA TFT display, a 56K modem and integrated wireless LAN for trouble-free networking and Internet access in any environment, and an array of Command Control Buttons for one-touch access to several 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 internal main Lithium-Ion battery delivers long life between charges.
Product Description
Imagine a portable PC that adapts to the way you work. It would be a versatile, highly mobile product that allows you to sketch, take notes while in a meeting, electronically capturing ink as it flows from a digitized pen onto a tablet PC screen that mimics a ruled paper notepad. Once back at the office, you could snap on a lightweight, removable keyboard and have a world-class ultra portable notebook PC. The Compaq Tablet PC TC 1000 delivers this increased mobility and productivity as a full function PC that integrates easily into your working environment - whatever it may be.

 Great Portability and Function October 19, 2007
This is just the most fun and functional computer I've used! Great "on-the-go" capabilities with accurate character recognition. The screen is fairly small, so if you are looking at spreadsheets or data for extended periods of time you will need to purchase an external monitor for desktop.
Technology has caught up with this little ingenious office piece, so don't let the lack of a CD/DVD drive deter you. Look at other storage options that you can use to "plug and run" for any files you may need to access or store on the go. It's docking station comes with adequate USB ports for your burners and printers. Of course, it comes with an internel internet card, so if there's WIFI you're good to go.
Unit does heat up quite a bit, but I wouldn't let that stop you from buying this great tablet!

Before you resist buying this for it's lack of connectivity for installing, consider flash drives, also known as jump drives. These miniscule drives plug directly into a computer's USB port, and act as a sort of hyper-floppy. If you own another computere and are considering this one, you can simply load anything onto a flash drive from your desk or laptop and then plug it into the Tablet. Even if just installing software is not enough to warrant the cost of a flash/jumpdrive, consider that these drives make file transfers a breeze, and you can store "sensitive" or vital files on the jump/flah drive and keep it in your pocket, thus eliminating the possibility that anyone using your tablet gets access to any files you care to place on the jump/flash drive.
Pros overweigh the cons, yet it needs some more work July 31, 2003

I've been using my (first) Tablet PC by Compaq for a little over two weeks now, and the results are showing. Some of the comments that other reviewers have are totally right on: indeed, the tablet heats up a bit (now, I wouldn't have it sit on my lap, regardless). Also, there's a certain degree of instability inherent to the system when you take if off its docking station without powering off; and, finally, true that the only way to install software on it is downloading it or... the way it was meant to be done, through a CD-RW/DVD-rom drive as part of its docking station.Truth be told, the Tablet PC cannot be without its companion docking station for "desktop work" purposes. Also, highly recommended is a companion second screeen (flat or traditional, doesn't matter). It is neither your typical power workstation, in spite of a not-too-slow CPU courtesy of Linus Torvald's Transmeta, however it will handle several relatively common applicaions simultaneously open (Outlook, Explorer, Word, Excel... you get the picture). Now, the true beauty of this piece of gear lies in its light weight, readability (and "writeability" in digital ink) and the fact that it comes wireless ready, so it makes it an ideal companion to take advantage of the increasing number of hot spots across the nation. Sit at a Borders library sipping a cup of coffee, while taking digital notes in your own handwriting and be able to search your notes later (as you would normally, using Windows' search capabilities); read an article on the 8.5"x11" screen, which makes it a not-so-distant relative of the magazine already (except for the bulk, of course)... in general, it's a very nice piece of hardware. To me it's been a jump and it still takes a bit of getting used to, yet, I can appreciate the step in technology evolution that the Tablet PC represents. I have yet to try other ones, but I'll give four stars to this one. The pros overweigh the cons in my book, but it still needs some more work.
 Tablet PC is Great! March 30, 2003
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
The transition from my IBM T23 to my Compaq TC 1000 has been painless and after a week and a half the TC 1000 has become my primary computer. After reading numerous reviews of TPCs I felt compelled to write my own. If you are considering a tablet do not be put off by all the early adopter talk! The product works very well and is hands down the best computer I have ever used. I chose the Compaq because I wanted the convertible features of a traditional laptop with the flexibilty to ditch the keyboard and go "slate" when I wanted to. I am using the pen to write this on my couch through a wireless connection - I love it! Seriously, if you are considering an "ultra-portable" laptop and you don't take a good hard look at the TPCs you're crazy! With the Compaq, Toshiba and the Acer there is no excuse to buy a regular ultraportable for nearly the same price. I get three and a half hours of battery, the processor, while slower than my T23, is fast enough to run all my apps without any lag and the pen input is surprisingly accurate and easy to use (I am a Pocket PC user too and I expected the performance to be like Transcriber - the TPC is light years beyond). This is an excellent product and as a user the Tablet PC is without a doubt the future of computing!
