With the introduction of Tablet PC to the computing world, Tablet PC is quite famous among different section of the society. Students, journalists, professionals and todays consumers who want to get portable PC are very satisfied with the development of Tablet PC.

Some of the well known brand who manufacturers Tablet PC are the Gateway Tablet PC, the Motion Computing Tablet PC, the Fujitsu Tablet PC, the Toshiba Tablet PC.

There are two types of Tablet PCs configurations:

1. The slate model PC tablet: – This model doesn’t have attached keyboard. Like a piece of paper you can use a tiny pen-stylus device to write on the surface of these tablet pcs, where your handwriting is digitally converted and showing up on the screen.

2. The convertible model PC tablet: – This tablet PC look like traditional notebooks, with displays that turns around and folds flat covering the keyboard facing outwards, but when flipped upright, the screen works just like a laptop computer or notebook computer.

Generally the features of Tablet PCs are

- Weight less than 2kg (some slates weight less than 1kg)

- Very compact

- Digitized displays (12-inch)

- No internal CD, CD-RW, or DVD drives

- Slower mobile processors, less memory and smaller hard drives

- Ports are few

- Microsoft Windows XP Home or Professional

As per your requirement you can upgrade the Tablet PC. For instance you can get larger hard drive 60GB or your Tablet PC screen can be upgrade for indoor and outdoor viewing.

That’s a question many manufacturers ask themselves these days as consumers seemed very receptive to touch tablet concepts shown at CES 2010 in Las Vegas. There are a lot of uses a PC touch tablet can perform like browsing comfortable in your own home, sharing photos, articles and other social media related material with ease, entertain yourself with music and movies, check email, do some occasional work (but this is stretching it too far).

I believe that none of the manufacturers have reached a point where users can say “this is the perfect tablet” and it’s understandable why, as tablet PCs have been around for just a few years and slate type tablet even younger. In this situation I thought to myself to make a list of things a PC touch tablet should have to be considered ‘complete’.

A right sized screen: 9-10 inches minimum and not more than 12 inch Low weight: ideal is 2 pounds but value under 3 pounds are ok Snappy fully fledged OS: no mobile variants, the best now being Windows 7 Fast enough CPU for usual tasks: no Atom here, CULV models are ideal because of their performance per watt ratio Lots of connector: if you’re ever going to work on it you need to be able to connect a keyboard, external hard drive and maybe a monitor/LCD TV

I believe those are the main features a PC touch tablet should do well this year to qualify for the privileged title of “perfect tablet”.
