The TC1000 is a 10.4" laplet designed by Compaq, before it was purchased by HP. It used the Transmeta Crusoe processor. Unlike many other tablet PCs of its time (which can only operate either in a traditional laptop configuration, or with the keyboard folded behind the screen), the display is fully detachable from the keyboard. The product was developed and manufactured using ODM model from LG Electronics, Inc. of South Korea.
The TC1000 was replaced by the HP Compaq TC1100 which features a faster Pentium M processor and an integrated digitizer from Wacom (the TC1000 used a Finepoint digitizer which required a AAAA battery and lacked pressure-input, being binary on/off only), among other small upgrades.
The TC1000 comes with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition {{cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/reviews/hp-compaq-tablet-pc-tc1000-review/|title=HP Compaq Tablet PC TC1000 review: HP Compaq Tablet PC TC1000|publisher=Cnet|date=2002-11-05 |accessdate=2022-05-15}} but it is capable of running Linux.{{cite web|url=https://www.gadgetnate.com/2007/03/14/linux-on-the-compaq-tc1000 |title=Linux on the Compaq TC1000|publisher=Gargetnate|date=2007-03-14 |accessdate=2022-05-15}}
