Benefits of Tablet Computers
Tablet PC / Tablet Computer Benefits – Top 10
A Tablet computer is better than a laptop for several reasons. It’s the next generation of notebook computer.
1. A Tablet PC / Tablet computer is the best mobile PC solution. With the announcement of a new Apple Tablet is may be the best solution for Apple computers as well.
A Tablet PC is compact and convertible which allows you to use your computer in places it would be awkward to use a laptop. You can even use it while standing up. With the wireless Internet support a Tablet PC is extremely convenient to use while being about town.
2. Write notes rather than type.
You can interact with people sitting across from you while writing notes, rather than having a computer screen between you. It’s great because you can use technology and still have that personal interaction with others.
3. Taking notes — easier in meetings or classroom.
Tablet PCs are especially great for students, or in a classroom situation. They are also great in meetings. You can quickly write notes — and then organize and search your notes later. You can even include audio files, or presentations with your notes.
4. A Tablet PC is more personal
Write emails using your own handwriting. Send messages to friends and family (even those without a Tablet PC.) It brings back the personalized touch of handwritten cards, rather than the impersonal feel of regular emails. Your family will love it.
5. Make comments easily.
Tablet PCs make it easy to make comments (like sticky notes, and highlighters). Personalize what you are reading. Make notes in margins. Draw right on the screen while making presentations.
6. Convert handwriting to text.
Once you have your handwritten notes — your Tablet computer can easily convert those notes into typed text.
7. Search handwritten text.
You can also search your own handwritten notes. This is the coolest feature. You will be the envy of your friends once you show them how you can write their name and then find it just by searching your notes.
8. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Windows XP has a version just for Tablet PCs — with some additions. Get all of the security and features of Windows XP — and carry it with you on your Tablet PC. The new Apple tablet will likely have customized functionality specific to the new platform.
9. Tablet computer software
The cool thing about a Tablet is you get the cutting edge technology of the latest software. There are hundreds of third-party software applications for the Tablet.
10. Multi-Language Capability
The Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 comes in 20 languages. No specific announcements on the Apple Tablet but based on past performance from Apple, we are certain to see multi-language capability.

I’m tryign to get on board the tablet craze but all the examples i’m shown of benefits seem to be extremely similar to things you can do on laptops or phones anyway so, being a normal person and having both of these, i cant really see the benefit apart from it being slightly light than a laptop to carry around but still too big to fit in a pocket so still annoying to carry around. Pretty much the only other benefit i can see i using it as an e book reader. Get some better arguments for otherwise there’s no chance i’ll jump on this overpriced fad.

Overpriced? You can get a tablet for half the cost of a laptop and still are able to use it just as good. Using the cloud services today you can create MS Office docs, save them, email them, print to wireless printers, enjoy the fact that you don’t have to pay $300 for MS OFFICE 2010 ($14.99 for Docs To Go)…that’s just the beginning. Portability (which you did agree with), instant synchronization with Gmail (or iTunes account depending on the device). I was one that tought the way you did until I forced myself to utilize my iPad for all its worth. I havent touched my laptop other then when I need to design some graphics for a client.
And honestly the price starts at $99 for a low grade tablet. My Android phone does basically everything that my tab can do but I have looking at a 4″ screen.

I agree with Steve. basically the only benefits i really see are its smaller (yet still annoying) to carry around, you can print wirelessly, and instead of killing your cell phone battery 3 times a day you can kill it 1&1/2 and the tablets 1&1/2! basically for me i would use it like i use my cell phone til it dies then back to the phone while it charges! lol
