Answer 1

If your daugher is under 15, she should have a Desktop....

But she is talking about a Tablet PC.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Answer 2

They are called: tablet PCs or better yet, a Convertible tablet notebook. And I absolutely love tablet PCs.They are a load of fun and have much application. But you're probably looking at least $1000 at a low end tablet. They can be as expensive as $2000.
So let me help you out a little. You need to ask yourself a few question before you buy one. (Because you can buy a better notebook that isn't a tablet, at a better value/price.)

1. What size of screen do you want/is mobility important?

They come in multiple sizes, from larger 15" to smaller 11". Alot are designed to be held in one arm like a paper notebook.They also tend to be pretty heavy, a 14" inch gateway tablet weighed in about 7-8 pounds... That doesn't sound like alot, but it gets heavy after you lug it around all day. Most notebooks weigh about 5-6 pounds.

2. What kind of preforming does she want/ what programs will she run?

You can get a convertible/tablet notebook that can be very powerfully and have a decent battery life. If you want something that can run alot of art and alot of graphic design, get at least
Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo t5500, 1GB Ram.

I love the tablet PCs, but i would never buy one, unless I was a graphic designer on the road with no desk. Or a real estate agent. I like to draw and make computer graphics, and i felt that the tablets are good for taking notes, but a Wacom tablet (www.wacom.com ) is much better for drawing. Generally, the Wacom pen tablet will work on any computer/laptop. Plus it gives you more creative control and better sensitivity. And most are touch sensitive, so you can draw dark deep lines or soft strokes.
This way you can get a great well priced notebook and spend anywhere from $100- 300 more and get the Wacom tablet, that should really make your daughter happy.

Special note: If you get a tablet PC, please, please i beg of you get an extended warranty. I always recommend it on notebooks, but I beg of you to get it on a tablet PC. Generally because if you get the convertible type where the screen swivels, the hing well most likely break after while, especially if you daughter isn't carefully enough.

Answer 3

Tablets. They are also called notebooks and laptops. My personal favorites are the ones HP makes. Good luck!

Answer 4

They are called Tablet PCs. Hewlett-Packard makes some good ones: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF04a/321957-304452-306995-304455-306995.html

You don't say how old your daughter is and what she wants to do with such a device. She actually may want a graphics tablet like those by Wacom: http://www.wacom.com/tabletpc/index.cfm

Always find out what the main use will be before buying the technology.
