Tablet PCs - Should You Ditch Your Laptop for a Tablet?

Are you always on the go? Then you probably need to switch to tablet PCs - portable computers with digitizing or touch screen tablets. You can easily operate them directly using the screen with a tablet pen, a stylus, or your very own fingertips. They do not require the use of a mouse or keyboard anymore since they can recognize your handwriting and converts it into text in digital format.

A lot of models for tablet PCs are for mobile use. They are best for illustration and design, basic note-taking, and field work.

Types of tablet PCs

There are two kinds of tablet PC models: the Slate and the Convertible.

Slate tablet PC

This does not have a keyboard that is integrated into it, which means that you rely solely on the screen for data input. Also known as the PDA (Personal Data Assistant), the Slate is lighter, smaller, and can connect to a portable keyboard that you can separately buy.

Convertible tablet PC

Aside from having touch screen functions, this model has a touch pad and a keyboard, which makes it similar to a laptop's appearance. The screen can fold back to to the keyboard and can swivel up to 180 degrees.

Choosing your tablet

If you want to buy your own tablet PC, check on its gesture recognition to ensure that it can easily recognize special movements of the stylus so the writing efficiency is increased. Furthermore, ensure that you can program it to respond to different methods for certain gestures of the stylus. Also, make sure to check on its security functions. Look for one that has password protection and file encryption.
