Thermal design power

TDP, or Thermal design power, is monitored by two complementary circuits, one which powers down the system to save the CPU from destroying itself by overheating, and another which throttles the CPU's clock rate, thereby turning a powerful chip into a slower one.^[1] This design problem means that tablets and laplets are not meant to run the fastest CPUs. This problem is not yet addressed; Tablets work best at TDPs of 5 watts or less, which is not yet available for those tablets / CPUs with TDPs of 15 watts.

This should be in the article. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 15:13, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

^ Surface Pro 3 with i7 controls throttling when in the presence of cooling

Latest change

User:Comp.arch, This change appears to gloss over differences between 4 operating systems: iOS, OSX, Windows 7, and Windows 8, not to mention Windows Phone or Windows 10. The apparent trigger for this change appears to have been an ungrammatical "Desktop-based tablets have been are thicker and heavier, require more storage, more cooling and give less battery life, but can run processor-intensive applications such as Adobe Photoshop ..." which refers to the Surface Pro. In keeping with WP:BRD, I would appreciate understanding your viewpoint here.

Thank you for your rapid article response. The citation named Gartner3Mar2014 is a 2013 year-end summary, apparently available by subscription, and later released to the general public. This reference had both 2012 and 2013 year-end results. Previous information was episodic and sporadic, with no year-over-year data. Thus any 2014 year-end results are apparently going to have to wait until after the Mar 2015 reports are released. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 12:32, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

"Surface (tablet)"

The use and primary topic of "Surface (tablet)" is under discussion, see Talk:Surface_(first_generation) -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 12:10, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Tablet PC

It is a mistake "Tablet PC" directs here. The term "Tablet PC", as in PC which has mainly referred to x86/IBM Compatible since the early 90s, does not apply to iPad, Kinddle, and Android devices which are not technically PCs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.158.72.234 (talk) 08:49, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Although it may appear ambiguous, whether iPad is a PC or not, but technically it is a personal computer. TranslucentCloud (talk) 15:15, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Tablet computer. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
