 SC 3000 Tablet PC (1) A tablet computer environment from Microsoft that is based on an enhanced version of Windows XP. Designed to function more like a portable writing tablet than previous tablet-based computers, it includes handwriting recognition as well as the ability to retain handwritten words , providing advanced biometric security and password management in a small form factor, ideally suited to Tablet PCs.

The AuthenTec sensors' small size and low power requirements help Electrovaya to deliver added security to this .75" thin Tablet PC, that has an extended run time of up to 9 hours.

"The AuthenTec sensor provides added security in the most convenient and reliable way," says James Percy, Product Specialist, Electrovaya. "With just the touch of a finger, mobile professionals can rest assured that their files and Tablet PCs are safe and secure from theft or fraud."
