Tablet PC's are a new type of tablet computer that meet the Microsoft Tablet PC platform specification and run Windows XP for Tablet PC. They are available in both slate and as convertible laptops which transform from the traditional clamshell to a slate format. The “ink” capabilities of the Tablet PC’s offer superb handwriting capabilities. You can write on the screen just like on a pad. If you want to convert to text you can, but many prefer to use “ink” as ink. The speech recognition is quite impressive, with best results using a headset.
