Product Features

Screen size (Inches)	9.7
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
3G	Yes
3G allows mobile phones and mobile dongles to achieve broadband speeds similar to that of home broadband. This allows users to browse the internet, email and download files and video whilst on the move.
Tablet Type	Slate
Where ‘slate’ tablets are standalone touchscreen computers, ‘convertible’ tablets have keyboards that mean the device can function as a laptop. Once the keyboard is folded away, the screen can then be used as touchscreen. ‘Hybrid’ tablets function similarly to ‘convertible’ tablets but the keyboard and screen can often be completely separated, allowing for more portability.
Operating system	iOS
Software on which the device runs
Number of cores	Dual
Computer processors are made up of 1 or more cores. Having multiple cores allows the computer to run two or more processes at once, improving multi-tasking and speeding things up.
Processor speed (Gigahertz)	1000
The processor is the driving force of your personal computer. The higher the number in Gigahertz or Ghz the faster your computer will run. Don’t forget that other factors such as the number of cores will have an effect on speed.
Hard disk capacity (Gigabytes)	32
Hard Disk capacity is measured in GBs which stands for Gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 MB or megabytes. The more GB you have the more info like photos and music you can store.
Battery life (Hours)	10
Battery life is important if you travel a lot. Long train journeys can be a pain if you don’t get more than 3 hours of life out of your laptop. It’s worth remembering that a lot of trains offer power sockets now so don’t be put off by a low battery life unless your lifestyle demands ultra portability.
WiFi	Yes
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
Bluetooth	Yes
Bluetooth is a technology for the wireless transfer of data such as contacts, photos and music between mobile phones, computers and a host of other Bluetooth enabled devices. Read more about Bluetooth on Wikipedia

DVI Port	No
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.

DVD Drive	No
Built-in disc drive	No
Built-in disc drives can be used to copy data, music, documents or films from your laptop, netbook or desktop computer, onto a blank DVD.
