A tablet PC is a new concept in mobile computing that offers flexibility. It is a portable fully-equipped, slate-shaped computer that functions like a laptop but doesn't have a keyboard or mouse. It has a touch screen that allows the use of a 'stylus' or a digital pen or fingertip for inputting. The touch screen receives information as the user writes on the screen with such input devices. The digitising tablet technology can also be used to access content on the PC without the help of a mouse or a keyboard. As you can activate the display screen with a pen or your finger, you will find that a tablet PC is an easy multitasking fare, whether in meetings or while on the move.

So, a tablet PC can be considered as a pen-based computer with a digital pen. The digital pen can recognize handwriting as "digital ink," which can then be reformatted and edited.

Some of the well-known tablet PC brands are Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, Gateway, Panasonic, Table Kiosk and so on. Toshiba and Hewlett Packard are recognized for their quality and advanced technology.

Tablet PC memory can range from 250 MB to 750 MB depending on the model.

"slate" design

• an inclusive PC in itself
