I have a tablet PC but the pen is such a hassle that I’m actually better at coloring with the mouse.

It just doesn’t feel like a pen at all. The screen isn’t sensitive enough to it and when I press hard it just acts jittery. I’m very computer illiterate, can anyone help?
I tried pen settings. It doesn’t have the option of making it more sensitive

Ever dream of getting the best tablet PC but were afraid that this piece of technology may not be what you expected? Feel that you just might waste your money without knowing what it can and cannot do? The only way for you to feel confident about your purchase would be to research the item and read reviews to help you make a decision.

What is a tablet PC?

The tablet PC is a new way of looking at portable and mobile computing. A tablet is basically a laptop that behaves like a clipboard. The tablet has a swiveling screen that can lay flat and act like a piece of “paper” to be written on.

When the tablet hit the market several years ago, it created a fan base following that many people have come to love. It simply offered them something new and useful.

This being the case what factors should you consider when shopping around for the best tablet PC? First of all you have to decide if you would want to buy a slate or convertible PC. This is crucial because the tablet PC may not meet your expectations here on this.

A convertible PC is your best choice if you need to use a keypad most of the time to enter data. However if you do most of your work with a pen and keypad entry is very minimal, then tablet is for you. Of course a keyboard and other accessories may be attached but that defeats the purpose of a tablet. Tablet Personal Computers are advisable to use if what you need is something light and thin and doesn’t bog you down when you carry it.

Most people who use the slate-type notebooks are people who need to input data occasionally or frequently using a stylus or similar input device. This means that the item can be exchanged between users and it saves on inventory costs. If you need work done for the whole day then you should go for the tablet for its screen can be rotated or tilted to view from different angles.

Screen size is another thing that users look for. For some, bigger is always better. Slate PC’s usually have a 10.4″ to a 12.1″ because the item is supposed to be carried in ones arm while being used. It requires one arm to carry or view but both to view and input information. While tablet PC’s have smaller screens, it can be hard to view full page notes or pages. You may have to zoom in on them to read and can become tedious.

When you compare the features of the slate and tablet PCs, aside from the screen size is the resolution. Resolution is the amount of data that can be displayed on the screen. Most slate and tablet PCs have SXGA but larger screens may have the same resolution but may appear to be pixilated.

Warranty and after sales support is crucial for any purchase no matter what you get. Would you rather speak to a real person or a voice menu? When you have problems navigating your item, will they assist you? For people who are not so familiar with the technology this is a must have. In the end, you have to decide which factors are for you so that you can obtain the best tablet PC.

Arik asked:


I need a relatively high spec Laptop PC or Tablet PC for business purposes and I’m very interested in a Tablet PC in particular. I’m just not sure that 1) the handwriting rec will really work; 2) 2hat the performance will be sufficient; and 3) that the extra price will be worth it. I’m interested in hearing the practical experience others have gained and which products they have found best.
My primary uses w.r.t. the tablet functions would be:
- Wireless Web Browsing
- Data gathering and catagorising – from web resources in particular
- Meeting note taking and filing
- Document reading / reviewing
- (potentially – depending on how good the handwriting rec is !) Document writing

Many thanks for answering !

Arik.

I want to know do you have to use a tablet pc for light pen drawing?
Because tablet pcs are a little to expensive. Or is there a software
That you can download instead of buying a tablet?

Thanks.

I used to have a tablet pc and I absolutely loved the Windows Journal program.
Is there a program like that for Mac with markers, pens, and highlighters, where I can actually write things out instead of typing?

dewe52 asked:


Other than the touch screen and the size, what’s the difference of a Tablet PC from Laptops/Notebooks? I’m thinking of getting one.

Specifically, are normal programs not available on a Tablet PC? I saw this demo on the Microsoft site that said it allows you to transfer some of your favorite music from you desktop PC to the Tablet. Does this mean I can’t store my whole library in it? Does a tablet have a DVD-RW or CD-ROM drive?
Is there lower hard drive capacity?

Or is it mostly the same thing?

Hehehe… Thanks in advanced

So, I have a HP Tx2500z, one of those touchscreen tablet pc’s, but I recently bought a MacbookPro and I don’t use the PC anymore, my question is if I can take the tablet screen and somehow turn it into a (maybe) USB tablet so I can use it with my Macbook, does anyone have any idea if this can be done?

Thanks in advance!

Mark asked:


I have a Tablet PC. Is it possible to get that to work as an input device on a desktop computer? In other words, use the Tablet PC like a Wacom Tablet. Either wired somehow or wireless (such as with wifi) would be great.
