Techopedia explains Tablet
In 2001, Microsoft introduced the first tablet prototype as the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. The earliest tablets used pen computing technology and were not built to run standard PC operating systems (OS) or applications, due to limited memory.
Tablet styles include:
Convertible: Rotating touch screen, stylus/digital pen, keyboard screen software and handwriting recognition software
Slate: Integrated electronic touch screen, i.e., Apple's iPad
Hybrid: Standard notebook with a removable screen that functions as a slate tablet
