Electrovaya SC3000

The Electrovaya Scribbler SC3000 Premium is a true “writing slate” style computer which runs on Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.

The $2,579.00 USD Scribbler sticks to the well-tested Centrino formula as it uses a 1.5 GHz Pentium M of the Dothan variety. It seems as though the 1.5 GHz Pentium M is the most common speed grade, appearing in a lot of lower priced notebooks, and something a little faster would be nice in a $2,500 tablet.

Having a biometric security system in place on a notebook as portable as the Scribbler is a good idea. Enrolling/registering a fingerprint takes a few moments. This is a mature technology and quite frankly we should see it standard on any notebook that is a premium product.

The Scribbler SC3000 has pretty good 12″ display. There is an outdoor viewable variant of this display available as a $289 build to order option. It sports a 1024×768 resolution which is the standard for this screen size.

At 3.5 pounds the Scribbler is nice and light, and quite portable. But factor in that there is no keyboard or optical drive, an external combo drive can be ordered for $250, when considering the weight.

Bluetooth is absent, but IRDA is present. Storage is handled by a 60 GB Samsung 5400 RPM HDD. Firewire, VGA, two USB 2.0, audio in/out, FIR, Kensington Lock, PCMCIA, Ethernet and 56k Modem ports line the edges of the Scribbler.

A base version is available without some of the extras included in the Premium package. Electrovaya has an online configurator that might make it easier for you to find a combination that works for you.
