A tablet pc is a personal
computer that has a touch screen. Much
lighter and more manageable in small spaces
than a laptop, a tablet pc is a truly
personal computer. While a built in keyboard
is not standard on a tablet pc a keyboard
may be plugged in if the user prefers. To
enter information on a tablet pc you simply
write on the screen. The tablet pc is able
to read your writing based on handwriting
recognition. The handwriting is stored as a
graphic and can be converted to text either
in real time or stored and completed after
you have finished your notes. If you would
prefer to be more natural, comments, notes
and doodles can be left in your own
handwriting. Tablet pcs use Windows XP
Professional as their operating system.
There are a wide variety of additional
software programs available to customize a
tablet pc to meet your individual needs.
Tablet pcs are lightweight and are
designed for students and business people
alike. With their wireless capabilities
tablet pcs are great for checking emails and
keeping important files and information at
your fingertips.
