Notepads
We all still use writing with a pen as a basic function in our daily lives and it is much easier to write something down than to use a keyboard to do it. Being able to write on a digital notepad and then turn your own writing into a digital file that can be saved, printed, or emailed in a digital format is definitely a plus in keeping yourself organized. A digital notepad is lightweight, convenient and usually has extremely long battery life. They can be used by people such as students, real estate agents, doctors, lawyers, delivery drivers, writers, artists, sales people, dads and moms or anyone that wants to keep notes and then convert them to a digital file. Notepads may not as versatile and exciting as a Windows Tablet but they do have their use and can be relatively less costly than a Windows Tablet.
Slates
Slates are basically a writing tablet with a stylus pen but without a keyboard. Your handwriting is recognized by an active digitizer, touching an on-screen keyboard using your fingertips or the supplied stylus. An external keyboard can be used by either a USB port or wireless connection.
Slates usually incorporate small screens and have been popular in such as health care, education, hospitality and field work. Slates are known for their rugged specifications that ensure long life by resisting heat, humidity, and drop or vibration damage. This plus their focus on mobility and durability tend to make them ideal for many business applications.

ThinkPads are a line of computers originally designed, developed and sold by IBM but now produced by Lenovo . They are known for their boxy black design and are similar to a Laptop computer and have the keyboard attached to the screen.
