A tablet PC? Hm... if it's got a touch-sensitive display, I'd consider it to be more like half-way between the two - like a laptop-sized PDA :-)
Certainly in terms of OS and software, though, it's related to a laptop, because it would run a regular OS and all your regular software, instead of a palmtop OS and software.

I'm with Uilleann on this one, if it runs a 'full' OS such as Linux (or wind ![[shake head]](graemlins/shakehead.gif) ws ) and is designed to be portable then for me it's a laptop, but as we're fond of saying here your mileage will vary.

I think it is a laptop. To me a PDA is intended to be an ultra-portable, instant-on device for quick note taking and scheduling. They have been expanded to do other things as well, but at their heart I think the design lends itself to quick notes instead of four hour marathons of Hearts or Zap!.
The laptop on the other hand is intended to take the power of a desktop on the road. The TabletPC is the same thing, just offering a new HI as well.

"You got your PDA in my laptop!"

Quite frankly, who cares what you call it. if it works for you, that's all that matters. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
