Using Your Tablet PC—Differences and Similarities of Functions

Using a Tablet PC can be very different from a regular PC, depending on the type. With slate design Tablet PCs, you are required to use only the pen for every function (unless you are using voice input). After you become accustomed to a slate Tablet PC, you will not miss a keyboard. If you do miss a keyboard, you can obtain an external one and plug it in via USB or wirelessly with Bluetooth.

Convertible Tablet PCs are just like a normal laptop but with the added feature of the stylus pen. Unlike slate Tablet PCs, convertibles have a built-in keyboard. One downfall to the built-in keyboard is that it will add more weight and bulk to the computer.
