A Tablet PC is a laptop PC, equipped with a stylus or a Touchscreen.
This form factor is intended to offer a more mobile PC; Tablet PCs may be used where notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.
Tablet PCs are personal computers where the owner is free to install any compatible application or operating system. Other tablet computer devices, such as eBook readers or PDAs, do not provide this option and are generally considered another category.
Tablet PCs typically incorporate small (8.4–14.1 inches/21–36 centimetres) LCD screens and have been popular in vertical markets such as health care, education, hospitality and field work. Applications for field work often require a tablet PC that has rugged specifications that ensure long life by resisting heat, humidity, and drop/vibration damage. This added focus on mobility and/or ruggedness often leads to elimination of moving parts that could hinder these qualities.
ADVANTAGES OF USING A TABLET PC
Usage in environments not conducive to a keyboard and mouse such as lying in bed, standing, or handling with a single hand.
Touch environment makes navigation easier than conventional use of keyboard and mouse or touch pad in certain contexts such as image manipulation, or mouse oriented games.
Digital painting and image editing is enhanced and more realistic than painting or sketching with a mouse.
The ability for easier or faster entering of diagrams, mathematical notations, and symbols.
Allows, with the proper software, universal input, independent from different keyboard localizations.
Its more natural and fun to use a stylus to click on objects rather than a mouse or touchpad, which are not directly connected to the pointer on screen.
