tablet PCs
iPads and rivals
Tablet PCs are portable computers with touchscreen displays, designed to be operated primarily by finger or stylus rather than keyboard and mouse.
The term emerged in the early 2000s for laptops with convertible screens, but now usually refers to slate-style devices like the iPad: She uses her tablet PC for reading and sketching.
Often shortened to simply tablets.
