Tablet

A tablet is a wireless , portable, PC equipped with a touch screen. It is generally smaller than a notebook and larger than a smart phone. There are two basic kinds of tablet personal com- puters: those with an integrated key- board (convertible type) and those one without a keyboard (slate type). The main advantage of tablet PCs is their light weight, greater mobility, and easy access to the Internet. Software applications such as web browsers, office suites, and games are built into a tablet. Endowed with advanced features like handwriting recognition software, larger memory, better battery life, and wireless Internet access, tablets are considered the best computing option available. Tablets can also be connected to desktop computers as a writing surface.
