Slate Tablet PCs provide a great way to use handwriting recognition software and cut down on using a mouse and keyboard. I like having the ability to use a slate Tablet PC anywhere quickly and easily. They are very portable and can be used in a variety of environments - especially ruggedized slate Tablet PCs. Although hard drives and optical drives are smaller or external options with a slate Tablet PC, the portability and capabilities to use external accessories make it a great mobile tool.
