There was a time when laptops were the ultimate in mobile computers. But as times and technology continue to change, there are new developments in the mobile PC world. One of the latest pieces of computer hardware designed to make life easier is the tablet PC. Here are four benefits you can experience by using one of these new pieces of portable equipment.

1. Taking notes is now a cinch. Do you remember the days when you took notes in your college class and you had to write them by hand and then transfer them to your computer when you got home? That was very time consuming. With a tablet PC, you can write your notes directly onto the tablet and then transfer them to your computer in seconds. You can edit your notes and even search through them using keywords in a matter of seconds.

2. Record audio and take notes at the same time. This is a handy feature if you find yourself daydreaming during college lectures or other speeches. You can record the audio as you take notes. Then you can view your notes and listen to the corresponding sections of the lecture to get a better grasp of what was being said.

3. Use voice commands. If you get tired of writing notes, you can let your voice take over. Tablet PCs have voice commands so you can simply speak and it will record what you are saying in an audio format and in a digital text format.

4. Save time. All of the benefits that you can experience by using a tablet PC are designed to save you time and make life easier. Whether you are a student, teacher, business owner or any other type of profession, a tablet PC can be a great way to get more stuff done in less time. Its portability allows you to take it everywhere you go so you can get work done regardless of where you are.
