(Redirected from Tablet pc)
A Tablet PC is a computer whose size and shape is generally similar to a tablet of paper (usually a little thicker)... thus, the name. The other critical aspect to being a Tablet PC is that you can write on the surface of the screen with a digital pen as an input device. The size, weight, and input mode means that the resulting computer is very portable, flexible in how it functions, and incorporates a new paradigm of how we interact with our computers.
