A Windows tablet is a portable computer that runs the Windows operating system. It is different from other tablets in several ways. First, it uses an Intel x86 or Atom processor instead of an ARM processor found in most other tablets. Windows tablets offer a great alternative to devices running Android or iOS and come with the same familiar layout, features and programs you’re used to on your PC or laptop. You can run your office applications such as Word and Excel and get a similar experience to your other computers, particularly if you add in a keyboard.
