TravelMate C110
/ C100
More than unwired, more than mobile, you now have the means
to write and roam wherever you choose. Acer builds on the success of its
revolutionary convertible tablet computer with exceptional wireless
performance.
The TravelMate C110 is an
ultra-portable
notebook PC that can be easily converted into tablet mode, and provides
the choice to input data by typing, writing or speech. Its design takes
into full consideration of
people's most natural and practical computing needs. Weighing at 1.4kg
(~3.08lb) only, the TravelMate C110 is the lightest convertible PC to
date.
Although the following
quote was made about the Acer C100 Series, it still holds true for the
Acer 110. 'Acer is striving to
make computing easier by developing devices that improve productivity,
and are more practical to people's everyday needs.' Said Stan Shih,
Chairman and CEO, The Acer Group.
'Acer's TravelMate
C110 is an excellent example of the innovation Tablet PC hardware vendors
are providing consumers,' said Alexandra Loeb, Vice President of the
Tablet PC Division, Microsoft Corp. ¡¥Its versatile convertible design
provides users all the conveniences of a powerful ultra-portable notebook
PC with the added benefit of natural input methods such as digital ink.'
'Tablet PC breaks the barriers between people and
technologies through a friendly interface, from which we expect a new
productivity in the freer style of information sharing.' Added Jim Wong,
President of IT Products Business Group, Acer Inc.

Mobile and dependable
Small enough to slip into a brief case, and light
enough to rest on one arm, the TravelMate C100 can be used whether
sitting, standing, or moving about. What's more, integrated 802.11b
wireless connectivity enhances user mobility and productivity. Meanwhile,
an extended battery life of 3.5 hours, an optional secondary battery, and
power rapid-charge at 1.5 hours, all ensure that users have more time away
from their desks for meeting clients and doing business.
A choice of input methods
Your
TravelMate C110 gives you three ways to work with your computer: in
addition to traditional keyboard typing and using a touch pad or external
mouse, data can be entered with the ease of handwriting and speaking. With
Acer's clever integration of software and hardware, you can issue spoken
commands to activate functions, or dictate notes that convert into text.
And Acer's EMR stylus makes using your computer simpler than ever,
allowing you to write, file, and store notes in a new format called
digital ink, or convert your handwriting into typewritten text, as you
write.
Acer's specially designed Electromagnetic Resonance (EMR)
pen and stylus enable natural writing as a form of input, in addition to
traditional keyboard typing and touch pad use (or external mouse
clicking). The pen-input technology provided by the hardware and Tablet PC
edition software provides users the means to write, file, and store ink
type notes as they are, or convert handwriting into typewritten text, as
it's written. Voice recognition allows for operation using spoken
commands, and gives users the convenience of converting speech into text.
The TravelMate C110 features Acer's
innovative convertible hinge, so your computer is as versatile as you are.
In addition to working on a document in standard notebook mode, you can
also rotate the screen to show clients presentations or share work with
your colleagues. And, by swiveling and folding back the LCD screen, your
notebook converts into a handy tablet computer with a large slate screen
for effortless writing. The screen layout is convertible too, allowing you
to shift between landscape and portrait viewing modes for even greater
flexibility. Mobile and dependable

As someone often on the road, you need a
PC that is as ready to travel as you are. Exceptionally thin and easy to
carry, the TravelMate C110 is the ideal productivity tool for business
meetings and client presentations. The TravelMate C110 is small enough to
slip into a briefcase, and light enough to rest on one arm or in your lap
- yet big enough to handle the most demanding applications. What's more,
an extended battery life and the option of wireless LAN enhance your
mobility by freeing you from the desk and keeping you on the move.

Advanced reliability
Acer
has also built the TravelMate C110 to take on the hectic pace of today's
mobile users. Specific tests ensure the reliable performance of the
convertible hinge, two-way latch, and keyboard - even if splashed with
fluid. The LCD scratch test ensures no scratches are left on the screen's
protection shield, and a ripple test ensures that the screen can endure a
definite amount of stylus pressure. In addition, through Acer's patented DASP or Disc Anti-Shock Protection system, the TravelMate C110 reduces the
impact of knocks and bumps.
Enhanced security
As a knowledge worker, you
want the comfort of knowing that your data and applications are safe at
all times. With a built-in SmartCard reader and Acer's security solution,
Platinum Secreta, the TravelMate C110 prevents unauthorised access to
files and programmes. Moreover, SmartCard security is designed to increase
your control over confidential information during e-commerce transactions
and other online activities. These added levels of security are very
effective and easy to operate; you simply set a password that can only be
used in conjunction with your personal SmartCard.
Meanwhile, the TravelMate C110 enhances data safety via optional SmartCard
security, preventing unauthorized access to files and programs, ensuring
work is even better protected.
The
TravelMate C110 has been endorsed and honored by the media from all over
the world, including Fortune, Business Week and PC World. Awards have
also been granted to its unique design and leading technology, such as the
2002 Intel Innovative PC Awards for the Slate/Tablet mobile PC category,
and the Best Mobile PC Award at Computex Taipei 2002.
Ready for More
Some of the TravelMate C110's greatest features
are the ones you never get to see. And that's especially true for Acer's
intensive testing programme for all TravelMate computers. With the
TravelMate C110, we have increased our exacting standards by adding
specific tests for writing on the screen and rotating the convertible
hinge. For added protection and peace of mind, Acer's innovative DASP
(disc anti-shock protection) system is built into the base of your
computer, which, combined with a rugged magnesium alloy case, guards
against the physical knocks you may encounter during daily mobile use.
