Tablet PC VS Laptop, Which Wins?
The ideal personal computer would have the power of a super computer and the portability of a wristwatch. Unfortunately, such a computer can be found only on Star Trek reruns, so all of us in the real world must make some choices.
Your choices will probably be based on what you require in the following two categories: Performance and features: Refers to the GHz of processor speed, pixels of screen area, megabytes of memory, type and number of drives (such as a DVD drive), and other characteristics. Range of use: Refers to the mobility of a Tablet PC or laptop and how it extends the way you use it.
Laptops can rival all but the higher-end desktops in performance and features. Plus laptops can be easily carried to convenient locations or on trips. Tablet PCs offer the best combination of performance and range of use, but they can't offer everything to everybody. Let's look at how Chris and Frank evaluated their needs in these two categories.
According to a survey, there are some customers' requirements is a built-in DVD player so he can watch movies on airplanes. I found three Tablet PCs that met this requirement: the Acer Travelmate C300 series, the Fujitsu 4000 series, and the Averatec C3500. He didn't choose one of these because all three were bigger and heavier than what he wanted, although the Fujitsu weighs only 4.3 pounds, which is comparable to the weight of many laptops. In fact, he found my three-pound Acer TravelMate C111 tempting—but it didn't have an internal DVD player. For Frank, the Sony Vaio beat the Fujitsu with its extra wide display, lighter weight, slightly better battery life, and slightly lower price from an online vendor. In short, he needed a computer in the laptop category. As much as he liked the idea of owing a Tablet PC, there wasn't a Tablet PC that met his essential hardware requirements.
Although the highest-end laptops may seem to contain more features and offer better performance than the highest-end Tablet PCs, it's actually a bit more complex. Most Tablet PCs offer only 1024 × 768 screen resolution, but the Toshiba M200 offers 1400 × 1050. Most Tablet PCs have shorter battery lives than most laptops, but the Electrovaya SC-2100 beats just about any laptop I know, with nearly eight hours of battery life. Most Tablet PCs don't have built-in optical (DVD) drives, but the three mentioned above do. In my opinion, the Motion 1400 Tablet PC also has the best built-in microphone on any mobile PC that's available today.
The screen of a Convertible Tablet can be rotated 180 degrees and folded over the QWERTY keyboard, just like that. Once in this mode it becomes clear that you need something different to interact with the screen and that are your fingers or a stylus. The screen of a tablet PC responds to your touch. The screens sizes tend to be smaller, reducing the overall footprint of the device. Of course you can find tablets with big screens and laptops with small screens but the trend is reversed.
The software has to allow interpreting what you're doing with your hand. Most Tablet PCs are using Windows 7, which includes native touch support, but it's far from being intuitive as buttons are too small for your commands to be precise.
Also, the features on a laptop generally cost Less Than the same features on a Tablet PC. At the time of this writing, a standalone Wacom graphics pad and pen cost $200-$700. The Wacom Cintiq, which is a combination of an Lcd Display and pen interface, and starts at $1500—and that's without a computer attached.
If you want to buy a tablet computer, the key question to ask you is "What are my essential performance requirements and where can I compromise to gain the mobility and versatility I need?"
