Apple Tablet's status as a mobile computer.
The aftermarketer Axiotron has introduced aftermarket, heavily modified Apple MacBooks called Modbooks,a Mac OS X-based tablet computer. It uses Apple's Inkwell for handwriting and gesture recognition and bundles additional digitization software from Wacom.
While Apple Inc. legally forbids and doesn't sanction running their operating system Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware,there are a large number of computer enthusiasts who are running slightly modified copies of Mac OS X on various x86 architecture PC models, among them Tablet PC computers.To get Mac OS X to talk to the digitizer on Tablet PC systems they use a free open source driver named TabletMagic originally written to support serial tablets for which Wacom no longer supplies Mac drivers.
The first officially-sanctioned Apple Tablet, the iSlate, will be introduced January 26, 2010.
In general terms, tablet PC refers to a slate-shaped mobile computer device, equipped with a touchscreen or stylus to operate the computer.
This form factor offers a more mobile way to interact with a computer. Tablet PCs are often used where normal notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.
The term Tablet PC was made popular in a product announced in 2001 by Microsoft, and defined by Microsoft to be a pen-enabled computer conforming to hardware specifications devised by Microsoft and running a licensed copy of the "Windows XP Tablet PC Edition" operating system or a derivative thereof.
Recently, Microsoft has leaked information about a potential future tablet PC product, the Microsoft Courier tablet PC, though it will run on a newly
developed operating system instead of an existing Microsoft Windows.

The advantages and disadvantages of tablet PCs are highly subjective measures. What appeals to one user may be exactly what disappoints another.

The ability to use in environments not conducive to a keyboard and mouse such as lying in bed, low lighting when a lighted screen is the input source, standing or with one hand,recording non-character based information such as diagrams and mathematical notation and symbols,lighter weight, lower power models can function similarly to dedicated reading devices like the Amazon Kindle,touch environment makes navigation much easier than conventional use of keyboard and mouse or touch pad.
