People adopt Tablet PC technology for many reasons. Some of the major benefits of Tablet PC technology include:
Collect data when and where it needs to be collected
With a Tablet PC you can take your notes electronically right in the field. There is no need to do double work taking notes by hand in the field then trying to convert them to electronic form later.
Hand writing recognition
Unlike trying to quickly enter notes on a laptop there is no need to try and quickly type notes. All a person has to do is manually write his/her notes and then have the computer do the converting with it's convenient.
Speech recognition
For those of us who don't like to type or write Windows XP Tablet Edition (the version of Windows that operates on Tablet PCs) has a built in speech recognition system.
Highly portable
Tablet PCs are the lightest computers on the market, typically weighing between 3 and 4 lbs, so they can be easily carried in one arm for most of the day.
Long battery life
Not only are Tablet PCs the lightest on the market but they also get the best batter life. With a Tablet PC a standard 6-cell battery will last up to 6 hours.
