A different take on tablets   |  July 13, 2004

Electrovaya Scribbler SC-2010
There are two types of tablet PCs: slates, where the PC is essentially a carry-along screen, and convertibles, which look like small laptops but have screens that can be rotated and clipped down, making the units look like slightly bulky slates.

Electrovaya has a third option.

The Scribbler can operate as a slate but it also comes with a detachable keyboard and mouse docking station, so it can work as a convertible. The user decides.

The SC-2010 has 512MB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi and a nine-hour battery. It retails for $3,399
