Tablet PCs

Tablet PCs are compact, mobile computers that employ a touch screen display as the primary user interface. Compared to desktop PCs and laptops, tablets sacrifice computing power, memory, storage and IO ports to achieve a very small form factor, long battery life, and light weight, all of which creates mobility.
One of the biggest differences under the hood between tablets and other types of PCs is the storage medium. Tablets use flash memory that is smaller, faster, and consumes less power than traditional hard drives, but has significantly lower capacity.
Tablets come installed with operating systems that are tailored for mobile devices.

Tablets are universally equipped with Wi-Fi adapters for network connectivity, and many tablets come equipped with cellular adapters as well.
