∙ 11y agoA computer is essentially something with a separate screen, keyboard, mouse and processing unit, whereas a laptop has them all built in to one box to put on your lap. A tablet however, is essentially a touch screen - doing away with the need for a mouse or a keyboard - they're all built in to the touch response of the screen so you touch the screen as you would a keyboard, and press and drag on the screen to move the pointer.

∙ 9y agoA laptop can generally be opened to reveal a screen and a physical keyboard. Laptop screens are not generally touchscreens, although some are.
Tablets generally are a single touchscreen surface display, generally without a physical keyboard. Some tablets can have independent keyboards, which may be connected by USB or by bluetooth.
There's a "grey area" between true laptops and pure tablets; a "convertible" laptop may have a rotatable screen which can either be turned to face the keyboard, and function as a laptop, or rotated to hide the keyboard and work as a tablet.
