The term was made popular as a concept presented by Microsoft in 2001, but tablet PCs now refer to any tablet-sized personal computer, even if its not using Windows but another PC operating system. Tablets may use virtual keyboards and handwriting recognition for text input through the touchscreen.
All tablet personal computers have a wireless adapter for Internet and local network connection. Software applications for tablet PCs include office suites,web browsers,games and a variety of applications. However, since portable computer hardware components are low powered, demanding PC applications may not provide an ideal experience to the use

Many tablet PC makers have standardized on a 12" widescreen format, with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The Fujitsu T5010 has a larger 13.3" display, but still runs at the 1280x800 pixel resolution. The Acer TravelMate C300 has a 14.1" screen at 1024x768.
The 12" form factor is optimal for the power, size and weight considerations required for portability. Although there is some demand for larger Tablet PC screen sizes from consumers, larger screens add significant weight and bulk to Tablet PCs. They also require more power, therefore larger, heavier batteries or shorter battery life.
For current tablet computers, (non tablet PCs) the general size is 10" (Used by the iPad) or 7" (Used by many Android tablets
