9 PCtablet, Intel ATOM Z515 1.2 GHz, 1GB RAM, 32GB SSD, Intel Poulsbo US15W, Realtek ALC269, 22.606 cm (8.9 ") LED, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB 2.0, 1.3MP, Microsoft Windows 7 Starter Edition A beautiful package for a portable PC
Netbooks are handy machines, but they are really just scaled down laptops. The ARCHOS 9 PCtablet however is a true evolution in portable computing as its form and design breaks the rules of the conventional laptop design.

Sleek and shiny enclosure for a sharp screen
At first, all you see is its magnificent touch screen. It is sharp, precise, and intuitive. So much so that typing on the virtual keyboard is totally effortless.

The thinness of this device is quite remarkable. Its edges fan out from an already thin structure (0.67” or 17 mm at its thickest). And since it weights less than 29 oz (800 g), you can easily carry it with you in your handbag and use it any 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’s controls are ergonomically placed for comfortable and natural use.
- On the right, an optical trackpoint for finger navigation replaces the big touchpad of a laptop to ensure you can precisely point to any position on your screen.
- On the left, screen brightness, WiFi control, and left/right mouse buttonss complement the virtual keyboard, so that your regular mouse controls aren’t left aside.
When you want 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 just one of the many differences from earlier tablet computers.
- 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 an email, or chat with your friends.

Performance for HD Video
For a long time now, the ARCHOS trademark has been it superior quality mobile video.

With the ARCHOS 9 PCtablet, we’ve made sure it’s able to offer the best of video for its users. That means HD video. This device will play Full HD* Video (in 1080p resolution) on its magnificent touch screen. Thanks to the latest Intel ATOM Z series microprocessor and the built-in Intel® video chipset, all you have to do is hit “Play”, sit down, and enjoy the show on the beautiful 9" screen.

Share, Chat, Talk
If you already have a computer, or if the Internet has become so appealing to you that you need to buy your first machine, then Social Networking, Chatting, and other web 2.0 web sites are out there waiting for you. It’s about sharing and being connected to other people. The ARCHOS 9 PCtablet will let you do just that. With SKYPE™ already installed, all you have to do is log in to your existing account, and start talking or chatting with your friends or family. SKYPE™ also allows you to SEE the person you’re talking to (if they have a webcam). With the built-in 1.3 megapixel buit-in webcam, you will be seen by them as well. Additionally, SKYPE™ offers you a voice mail system where people can leave you a message, as well as the ability to send SMS messages to portable phones.

And when you feel like writing rather than talking, you can still use SKYPE™ for instant messaging. With emoticons (those little signs that are so useful to express feelings) and editing status, you’re just key-clicks away from your friends and family.
