ECS's dinky H70 portable tablet
ECS H70 ultraportable tablet PC
Walking through the mass of halls that is CeBIT, you quickly realise the need for an ultra-lightweight PC, so it was refreshing to discover that ECS has teamed up with Intel to create what it reckons is the mobile warrior's dream.
ECS's H70 tablet PC weighs just 830g and features a 7in WVGA (800x480) wide-aspect touchscreen that's best-used with the supplied stylus pen. A built-in 4-in-1 card reader, integrated 1.3MP camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, high-definition audio, along with a couple of USB2.0 ports, makes it a feature-rich. A bundled docking station includes the usual ports that are omitted on the H70 for space-saving reasons.
It will be possible to specify the H70 with an Intel Pentium M ULV (Ultra-Low Voltage) 1GHz CPU and up to 1GB DDR2 RAM. A 60GB 1.8-inch hard drive (maximum size) provides plenty of storage, too.
The H70 is an interesting bridge between a PDA and medium-sized notebook. It should be available from Q2 2006 and, although pricing is yet to be determined, yours truly is one potential customer.
