Introduction to Tablet PCs

If you are interested in expanding your ability to write with your PC, then a Tablet PC is for you. The freedom of leaving your keyboard and touchpad behind was an appealing one for me—as I liked the idea of being able to fold my screen upright and use an electronic pen to capture my notes directly on my screen. Besides, I wanted to get away from having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome—so using a pen instead of a mouse was easier for my wrist.

Bridging the gap between the pen and the computer is achieved by allowing you to write notes directly onto your computer. However, these machines require a slightly modified version of Windows XP Pro called Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 just to make things work.

  1. One other factor to consider in looking at tablet PCs is the weight.  Many tablet PCs are nearly the size of regular laptops, which make them awfully heavy.  HP/Compaq make an excellent tablet (the TC1100, successor to the brilliant TC1000) with a detachable keyboard.  In models like this, the brains of the computer are integrated into the display, while the keyboard is just a keyboard, nothing else.  Taking off the keyboard yields a fairly lightweight system that you don’t mind walking around with or using on your lap for longer periods of time.
