There are a few key differences between a tablet computer and a PC. One of the main differences is that a tablet computer, also known as a "slate PC" is a mobile computing device that comes with a touchscreen instead of a physical keyboard. Due to the absence of the keyboard, the tablet computer is truly "mobile" vs. a desktop or a laptop.
