"Please tell us in 1 paragraph or less, why a standard laptop will not do what you want and why you need a tablet"
Dear Mr Carpenter, Howard [enter relevant state premier here]
Why do I need a tablet laptop
- It is a lot easier to carry around than a smartboard (courtesy @leonardlow)
- Allows exploration of smartboard type technologies for teaching and learning.
- Ergonomics - can actually use natural handwriting rather than squeezing productivity out of a tiny computer. Less arm strain when using them for long periods. Better for your eyes as you can adjust distance greater. Ergonomically, they are alot better for OHS guidelines. (thanks @waxlyrical @tuna)
- See above - will save trees..... reduce conspicuous consumption of writing implements.
- Can take natural notes and incorporate them into a single filing system - increased productivity.
- With the pace of tech change, tablets offer better simulcrum of future UI and power in future mobile devices than current PDAs/phones..one device, multiple functionality.
- Ergonomics - do not have to carry around mouse/keyboard, pen, paper and thus break my back.
- It looks really really cool which is important when you're a wannabe 'geek girl'
- less strain on your arms when using them for long periods, better for your eyes as you can adjust distance greater. Ergonomically, they are a lot better for OHS guidelines.
- Have you ever tried using a mouse to sketch a diagram, or tried to use tables to sketch up a quick diagram during a demonstration - Say no more
