Compaq TC1000

The TC1000 is a laplet designed by Compaq, before it was purchased by HP. It used the Transmeta Crusoe processor. Unlike many other tablet PCs of its time (which can only operate either in traditional laptop configuration, or with the keyboard folded behind the screen), the display is fully detachable from the keyboard. The product was developed and manufactured using ODM model from LG Electronics, Inc. of South Korea.

The TC1000 was replaced by the HP Compaq TC1100 which features a faster Pentium M processor and an integrated digitizer from Wacom (the TC1000 used a Finepoint digitizer which required a AAAA battery and lacked pressure-input, being binary on/off only), among other small upgrades.

gollark: Not sure about software but I bet someone has written something for it.

gollark: You could get a raspberry pi and one of their cameras? It wouldn't be very good but ought to *work*.

gollark: Also, on the topic of terrible device security, an old router I had had a similar security problem. There was a telnet management interface thing which I noticed had a `ps` command, and it seemed that some lazy/stupid programmer had just made it pass the arguments straight to `system` or something, because you could do `ps ; sh` and... get a root shell...
