All, I have just been supplied with a new laptop from work so the Tablet Laptop I have recently bought from Paul Gibbs is now up for sale.

It is a Tablet PC with Windows XP Tablet 2005 running on it, 768M of Ram (I upgraded it). It has a 80GB harddisk and a 10.4" true colour screen which can be calibrated.

It is Wifi enabled ( and it works well), has 1 firewire port, 2 USB2 ports, an external monitor port, headphones and mic port, a Ethernet 10/100 network card, a PCMCIA card slot ( can be used as a compact flash card reader- but is a bit slow - better with small USB2 slot card reader) and has a long life battery ( about 3 hours constant hard disk drive use, 4 hours intermediate)

Comes complere with 2 pens, monitor cable, USB keyboard, Desk stand and UK charger and is protected by a swish leather case.

I was using it as a portable memory card reader with a decent display, and had it on the IOM with me, as it also allowed me to keyword, download and 'develop' on the road - a lot more veristile that a simple card reader - it also connects to the Hyperdrive as a external (backup) USB hardisk.... but I cannot carry two laptops everywhere, and since my works lap[top has its business software on it, this personal tablet has to go..

Offers £350 ( the same price as a memory card reader with a decent screen - but a lot more versatile)

Email please

I bought it as a light and portable photo viewer like a P4000, the advantage here is that this one can run photoshop! At 1.4 KG there is little which is lighter and have a screen so big. I bought it last year but i have only used it once when i went on a trip to Ireland it slips very easily in to my stealth bag taking up almost no space. Also its capable of 4-5 hours on batteries.
