Is it time to buy a new laptop or notebook computer? Before you just replace that old one, let me suggest you consider a new Tablet PC.
Tablet PCs are small but mighty. They are full functioned computers that serve as laptop and notebooks but with a difference. You can write on the screen with an optical pen-like stylus just as if you were writing on a piece of paper. They are the ultimate in portability. Today's tablet PCs from companies like Gateway, Toshsiba, Motion Computing, lenovo and Fujitsu are very rugged and reliable.
the screen works just like a pad of paper. You 'write" on it with a special pen that operates with an optical beam of light, replicating your handwriting on the screen. They call it digital ink. Some tablet pcs are just the screen. tehere is no keyboard or mouse. You navugate by the pen or with buttons, though you can buy a wireless Bluetooth keyboard as an option if you want.Other tablet pcs are known as convertibles. They have a regular keyboard and mouse but when you swivel the screen up and over the keyboard, it works as a slate.
Whichever model of tablet pc you buy, make sure it is rugged. Check the screen to make sure boting is loose of flimsy-feeling. If you stick with well known tablet pc makers like gateway, toshiba, fujitsu, motion computing and the like, you wont have to worry. Those models are very well made and ruggedized for years of reliable work and service.
