Do you need a Tablet PC?
First off, what is a tablet pc? Tablet pc is a great name for it because it literally is like a tablet, or a pen and paper notebook. It is a slate-shaped computer that is easy to take with you on the go. The user operates the touch screen with a digital pen, a stylus, or even a finger.
Convertible Tablet Pc
This is more convenient that the typical keypad or mouse of a desktop pc for when you are on the go. The functionality of a tablet pc is great when a laptop or pen and paper may not be appropriate due to being on the go, or because pen and paper does not come with the software of a tablet pc.
Tablet pc's come in two forms, slate or convertible. One is not necessarily better then the other, it is just user preference. Slate style Tablet PC's come with a stylus, or digital pen as its main way for user interface. The convertible style is much like a notebook in many ways, but a main difference from notebook is that the screen can swivel.
The difference in the convertible to the slate is that the convertible comes with a build in keyboard and the slate does not. To use as a traditional laptop, the slate tablet style requires being connected to a docking station or having an optional keyboard plugged in or connected by BlueTooth to use a keyboard.
There is a weight difference between the two. The slate style Tablet PC usually weighs around 3.5 pounds and the convertible weighs 1-2 pounds more. For most people, the slate style is what is preferred due to its lighter weight and it offers more features.
But if you find that you need a keyboard often, it is probably best to get the convertible style. There is also a less used Hybrid series. The Hybrid shares qualities of both the slate and convertible style by having a detachable keyboard.
Nearly every Tablet PC comes with built-in wireless networking. In order for a Tablet PC to send or receive data in real time you must be connected to a wireless network.
The battery life usually last from 2-6 hours depending on the model you choose. However, it is good to keep in mind that using the built-in wireless networking can use up the batter life a lot faster, but still should be good for at least 2 hours of use.
There are several advantages to using Tablet PC's to notebooks.
There is a natural ease to using a pen for sketching or writing notes compared to a keyboard and mouse.
There is no jerky mouse movement like on notebooks which can allow you to pay attention to what is important, not worrying about trying to aim the mouse perfectly.
Tablet PC's are very slim, and are smaller then typical laptops which makes them easier to carry and use in a flash.
Tablet PC's are gaining popularity with many professionals for their portability, ease of use, and their high functionality. The key is finding which Tablet PC is right for you. If you want to learn more about Tablet PC's, go to http://www.tabletpctime.com
