Why do people use tablet PCs?

Answer 1

People who use Tablet PCs use them for different reasons. Obviously they're more portable but the better reason for using them is because they meet a need in a way that other PCs can't. The best way to differentiate between using a portable PCs and using a tablets is to note that there are Apps that can meet almost any need and how well those Apps meet that need is usually why people will use a Tablet. If the Tablet is connected to the internet even better. I would venture to guess that most people use Tablets for Surfing the internet, email/communication, social media, research and App specific work/play. If someone finds that they can do those things easier, faster while not having to be sitting in front a desktop or laptop, than Tablets will be their first choice. The experience of using a Tablet is more substantial than the form factor, at least, this is experience using an iPad. The way one interacts with the iPad is through it's operating system. People who simply get turned off by using typical PCs feel that the technology is more transparent with the iPad and actually use it. Ultimately, the best way to answer your question is to know what you mean by the word "use".
