What is a tablet PC?

The appearance of a tablet PCs is similar to a laptop PC; however, its functionality is far advanced. Tablet PCs differ from laptop PCs, because they have handwriting recognition capabilities. Tablet PC screens can be flipped 180 degrees and placed on top of the hard drive so users can comfortably write on the screen with a stylus or digital pen. Users can also rotate the tablet PC screen (portrait or landscape view) with the touch of a button. The pen serves the tablet PC similar to how a mouse serves a desktop computer and a touchpad serves a laptop. Additionally, the pen gives users the ability to write on the screen; and, with a touch of a button, the handwritten text is converted into typed text. Tablet PCs can also come equipped with a touch pad, keyboard and/or mouse. Advanced tablet PCs have voice recognition capabilities that convert spoken words into text. Tablet PCs are user-friendly, durable and versatile as they are often used outside of the office.

"Wikipedia" on a tablet PC

"A tablet PC is a notebook- or slate-shaped mobile computer. Its touch screen or digitizing tablet technology allows the user to operate the computer with a stylus or digital pen instead of a keyboard or mouse. The form factor offers a more mobile and productive way to interact with a computer. Tablet PCs are often used where normal notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.

"The tablet PC is a culmination of advances in shrinking notebook hardware and improvements in integrated digitizers as methods of input. A digitizer is typically integrated with the screen, and correlates physical touch or digital pen interaction on the screen with the virtual information portrayed on it. A tablet's digitizer is an absolute pointing device rather than a relative pointing device like a mouse or touchpad. A target can be virtually interacted with directly at the point it appears on the screen."

What types of tablet PCs exist?

There are two popular tablet PC models: convertible and slate. The convertible model is the most popular among our clients. It comes equipped with a keyboard, touchpad and stylus or digital pen. To access the writing tablet, users simply rotate the screen 180 degrees and lay it flat on top of the keyboard. Users are able to write comfortably in on-the-go and standing scenarios.

Slate models are often more slim and light than convertible models. Slate models come equipped with a keyboard, stylus or digital pen and mouse. Slate models are also a popular choice as they are used by professionals both inside the office and on-the-go.
