On the other hand... a tablet is a "personal computer" anyways, no matter if it has a slightly different formfactor or a gimped OS to keep the users in their walled garden.

You just poinged it out: "school ipads"- no desktop PCs.

I didn't write desktop PCs. Personal computers can have different form factors.

"A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single, thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, have similar capabilities, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have."

Only because desktop PCs are not portable and lack a touchscreen does not make a Tablet a Personal Computer. Thats what i mean: If another device does anything a desktop pc can't do, lets call it a PC, problem solved.

What's next? Will you argue that a laptop PC also ain't a PC because it is portable?
