Building Your Own Tablet PC?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday November 23, 2002 @06:07PM from the if-you-want-something-done-and-its-gotta-be-cheap dept.

GuNgA-DiN asks: "I would like to develop a prototype system for the Educational market using tablet PC's. I need to buy a few tablet PC's (with docking stations) and built-in wireless capability. Does anyone know where I could buy a barebones tablet PC kit? I don't want to spend $2,300 on one just to test out my idea. There are plenty of options available for end-users with pre-installed operating systems (read: WindowsXP Tablet edition). However, these are very expensive and will never make it to the low-cost Educational market. I need a barebones, build-it-yourself developer's kit that I can use to experiment with."

There are far more advantages to businesses than there are for a lone person.

This really means "my idea isn't worth $2300 to me."
