1.2 Scribbler Features
Processor
The Scribbler is equipped with an Intel® Pentium® III mobile processor with a speed of
either 733MHz or 866MHz, depending on the model. The 733 MHz processor can be found in
the SC300 model and the 866 MHz in both the SC500 and SC800 models.
Memory
Three memory sizes are available:
• 256 MB is built into the SC 300 model
• 512 MB is built into the SC 500 and SC 800 models
• 768 MB is an optional expansion on all three models
Power
The Scribbler is powered by Electrovaya’s patented rechargeable Lithium-ion
SuperPolymer battery pack. This battery provides the most power for its volume in the
10
world. It will give you between 8-16 hours of runtime depending on the battery pack.
Display
The computer’s LCD panel supports extra-high-resolution video graphics of up to 123 dpi
(dots per inch). The XGA screen provides maximum resolution of 768 X 1024.
* Note!
A
void putting any objects on the screen.
* Note!
You need to view the PC screen from 15” to 18” away for best viewing.
* Note!
For comfortable viewing and glare reduction, keep the PC screen away from direct
sunlight and other powerful sources of light.
* Note!
Avoid touching the screen with your fingers, because skin oils are hard to remove.
Video Card
The internal video card is an Intel 830 MG. 48 MB is provided for video display. The video
card will translate what the processor produces into a form that the monitor can display. The
video card, along with the monitor, determine the quality of the image you see when you use
your PC. This has an important impact on how comfortable the PC is to use. Poor quality
video cards don't allow for sufficiently high refresh rates, causing eyestrain and fatigue
Wireless LAN

systems based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio technology. It supports data transfer
up to 11 Mbits/s. It has Frequency Channel Selection at 2.4GHz and allows roaming over
multiple channels.
Software
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition with supported note taking, ink annotation, Ink &
11
Handwriting recognition, speech recognition and On-Screen keyboard. It has the ability to
support all software that is designed to work with Windows XP Tablet Edition.
Additional preinstalled software and external software is available. See your software manual
for instructions.
Hard Drive
The Scribbler comes pre-installed with either a 20GB or 30GB hard drive, depending on the
