Using your computer in tablet mode
Your computer is designed for convenience, ergonomic use, and
portability. Running the Windows XP Tablet PC edition operating
system, your TravelMate utilizes an EMR stylus for pen-based input.
Software developed specifically for the computer allows for both
handwriting recognition converted to application text, or handwriting
captured as rich digital ink for manipulation, editing, and formatting.
By combining Windows-based applications with the versatility of penbased input, this computer offers new ways for users to communicate
in a wireless environment.
