Tablet
ProductOverview
A tablet is a touchscreen computer built around a single large display with no permanent keyboard, occupying the space between a smartphone and a laptop. This 11-inch model uses an aluminium unibody, a laminated touchscreen, and a magnetic connector for an attachable keyboard and stylus. The design priority is a thin, rigid slab: the screen is the entire front face, and all electronics pack into a 6.4 mm body behind it.
Structure comes from the Aluminium Unibody Chassis, a CNC-machined aluminium unibody that forms the rear shell, midframe, and EMI shielding in one stiff piece. The front is the Display Module, a laminated LCD stack that bonds the touch layer directly to the glass so the image appears to sit at the surface. The computing hardware lives on the Mainboard, which carries the SoC, unified memory, and storage.
Construction
Imaging uses the Rear Camera Module for document and photo capture and a front Camera Module positioned for video calls. The Battery Pack is a flat lithium-polymer pack that fills most of the floor area, providing the largest capacity the thin volume allows.
External and wireless connections split across two systems. The I/O & Buttons carries the USB-C port for charging, data, and display output, while the Antenna System handles Wi-Fi and Bluetooth through antennas routed around the metal frame. Orientation and ambient sensing come from the Sensor Cluster.
Audio plays through the Audio System, a multi-speaker set tuned for stereo separation in both portrait and landscape. The Magnetic Smart Connector provides power and data contacts so a keyboard folio or stylus can attach and charge without cables, and the Vibration Motor supplies haptic feedback. The result is a portable display-first computer that can stand in for either a media player or a light laptop.
