Tablet PC's

Published by: anonym 2010-03-18

I have done a significant amount of research on tablet PC's (10 to 12 hours), but have been unable to figure out how MS Excel can be used in a Tablet PC environment. Can I edit individual cells in Excel? Or am I limited strictly to "annotations" with "ink" which will later (on a desktop) show up as "pictures." Also, I would like someone's clear assessment on which Tablet PC, regardless of cost, has achieved near-universal recognition as "The BEST Tablet" and why. I believe I have exhausted the easily-found resources online (pc mags, user forums), so am willing to pay a bit more to find better and accurate information.

I don't have time to answer this just now, if no one has taken it I will try later but I have tested and reviewed several Tablet PCs. I own the Gateway (Motion) tablet which is large enough to display a full standard typed page. Any Tablet PC you are likely to want uses the same operating system and works the same. Yes, you use Word and Excel just the same way you do on any PC. Either give spoken commands or click on the cell, then use the handwriting input system, OR use the keyboard which comes with most TabletPCs and all convertible Tablets

Hello siliconsamurai. I am happy to pay and tip for some solid answers to my questions, so have at it. I am in sales and take copious notes on a notepad all day, then come home and enter many of them into Excel. Would be happy to buy a Tablet if I could accomplish all this quickly, at once, in my client's office.

Microsoft OneNote will probably be your program of choice since it can retain your original handwritings plus the ability to search through them. Here's a picture showing OneNote searching through my engineering notes for the word: "incident" http://qster.com/images/misc/OneNoteSearch.jpg note the highlighted pages on the right, that means they contain the word "incident", too.
