This article says it all.....think about it next time you are walking around with an "open pizza box" notebook...it's hard to do that and be productive...Mobility will continue to drive production in the years to come and the "pizza box" is just too awkward to be a true mobile unit...I watched a gal the other day in a 7-11 store walking around with the "pizza box" notebook trying to enter data and it sure was cumbersome to say the least on her part...trying to take inventory, etc.  A tablet would have done the job much better.  BD 

Laptops, more commonly called notebook PCs these days, are well known for their portable, light weight computing power. Tablet PCs, while not as well known, are beginning to make their mark. There are essentially two types of tablet PCs on the market today. The most common version, sometimes referred to as a convertible tablet, looks very much like a standard notebook, but with a screen that swivels and collapses to form a flat surface. Other tablets are exactly that, a tablet where one side is the screen and one side is the bottom of the unit, just like on a standard notebook.

Tablets are beginning to show up in all kinds of applications. Insurance adjusters, health care providers, lawyers, anyone who has a need to work efficiently in a very portable manner, may benefit from a laptop.

No one wants to carry around a bulky, heavy computer. Because of this, tablets typically have 12-inch LCD screens, rather than the larger 14- to 15-inch screens typically found on mainstream notebooks.

If you're considering a new portable computer over the next year, consider looking into a tablet PC. Depending on how you intend to use your computer, it may be a good choice to consider.  MJ Shoer is president and virtual chief technology officer for Jenaly Technology Group, an outsourced IT services firm based in Portsmouth
