What are they?
Tablets come in two types. Slates are machine without a physical keyboard, with all the guts of the PC residing behind a screen. Convertibles look like a traditional laptop, but the screen can be swiveled and folded flat against the keyboard, essentially turning the machine into a slate form factor. A convertible model gives mainstream users the best of both worlds (a keyboard when you need it, a slate when you don't), while slate tablets give users a full-fledge PC and large screen in an exceedingly light package.
Who are they for?
Tablets appeal to a wide spectrum of users. Among consumers buyers, a convertible tablet is ideal for a student who might prefer to jot handwritten digital notes in class, rather than type. Typical home laptop buyers, too, might prefer the flexibility of a tablet when surfing the Web on the couch. In business, a convertible can serve creative professionals who need to turn ideas into sketches, as well as workers in the medical profession, warehouse personnel, and field employees that need to fill in digital forms.
