ARCHOS once again is leading the way in innovation with the introduction of
the Netbook of the future, the ARCHOS 9 PCtablet. The new ARCHOS 9 PCtablet
combines the performance of a high end netbook with breathtaking aesthetics,
excellent ergonomics and a tactile interface on a superb screen.
Pure lines, extreme thinness (0.67''), 800g and a stunning black finish, the
ARCHOS 9 PCtablet pushes the boundaries of elegance and simplicity on a Netbook,
fulfilling the expectations of the most mobile users. It provides all the power
and comfort needed for daily usage.
With this ultra-light and thin PCtablet, you can watch you videos (including
Full HD format), browse the web, “video chat”, or write your mails or
documents.
 | Play all your multimedia content including HD* videos
| Use all your daily software such as Windows Live™ Messenger or
Skype® with Windows® 7, or Lotus Symphony as a productivity suite
| Stay connected to Internet and your emails with the built-in
connectivity |

Designed for portability
A beautiful frame for a portable PC
Not so long ago, Netbooks were handy machines, but as a matter of
fact, they were mostly scaled-down laptops. The ARCHOS 9 PCtablet
is a fantastic evolution because it changes rules.

Sleek and Shiny enclosure for a Sharp Screen
At first, all you see is its magnificent touch screen. It is
sharp, precise, intuitive, so much so that typing on the virtual
keyboard is totally effortless. The latter was designed carefully
to both match the elegance of the overall aspect and to provide
the most comfortable experience possible.
The thinness of this device is quite remarkable. Its edges fan out
an already thin structure (0.67” or 17 mm at its thickest), and
since it weights less than 29 oz (800 g), you can carry it with
you in your bag and use it around all time. You’d be right to
wonder how you can have up to 80 movies stored in such a small
device.

Smart features for intuitive use
The ARCHOS 9 PCtablet button input controls are ergonomically
placed for comfortable and natural use.
| On the right, an optical trackpoint for finger navigation
will replicate the big touchpad or clumsy trackpoint to ensure
you can precisely point to any position on your screen
| On the left, screen brightness, WiFi control, and left-right
mouse buttons complement the virtual keyboard, so that your
regular mouse controls aren’t left aside. |
|
So whenever you want any smart info that pops-up under web links
or need to right click on something, it’s just as easy as on a
PC. That’s the true difference with PC Tablets that existed
before. |
|
The ARCHOS 9
features a two-position leg-stand, an ARCHOS trademark, to
optimize its use.
| The Upper position is best for viewing videos on the go,
surfing the web, or reading
| The Lower position is ideal when you need to type memos or
web addresses, send a email, or chat with your buddies. |
