What is a Tablet PC?
Computers powered by the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system,
and equipped with a sensitive screen designed to interact with a
complementary pen, are called Tablet PCs. Tablet PCs are
fully-functional laptop PCs and more. You can use the pen directly on
the screen just as you would a mouse to do things like select, drag,
and open files; or in place of a keyboard to handwrite notes and
communication. Unlike a touch screen, the Tablet PC screen only
receives information from a special pen. It will not take information
from your finger or your shirt sleeve—so you can rest your wrist on the
screen and write naturally. more and wikipedia
