If you are tired of looking at your bulky and heavy computer, and want to go in for something more portable, light and sleek, then the obvious thing that comes to mind is a laptop. But, there is a better option as well, and it is called the Tablet PC.

Tablet PCs are the latest technological toys available in the market. Though they had been introduced a few years ago, but it is only now that they are gaining familiarity with the consumers. Now-a-days these slate shaped PCs are available in the market for the same price as that of a top ranged laptop, with more and better features. It is the best option for professionals who are perpetually on the move. Professionals having a touring job or executives who have to ‘meeting hop’ several times in a day have taken to this sleek PC like fish to water. Lighter and smaller than a laptop (it weighs only two to three pounds), it makes mobility easier.

Despite its uses, it is popular only among top level executives. Professionals at lower levels still prefer the laptop, probably because laptop prices are coming down. The second factor can be that they are still not comfortable using a smaller keyboard or a digital pen. Probably, the most important factor is that professionals who have predominantly a desk job and limited movement, do not feel the utility of a tablet PC.

Despite this, a tablet PC is slowly and steadily registering its presence in the market and increasingly gaining popularity amongst executives. Salespersons, doctors, students, researchers and many more people from various walks of life are waking up to its advantages. It supports all types of latest operating systems and can be used like a notebook to take notes.

The biggest advantage is that it can be easily carried everywhere, and does not need to be set up on a flat surface. It can be used by holding it in the hands like a book and the digital pen can be used like an ordinary pen to write upon it. In some PCs even the fingertips can be used to select menus and perform certain functions.

The tablet PC is an impressive piece of technology that brings together beauty, style, sleekness and utility in a single gadget.

It is easy to get depressed when we see the massive drop in our retirement portfolios and falling valuation of our homes. But unless we need to sell near term, neither is the big problem. The big problem is falling consumer confidence and the poor performance of the western market. This is jump-out-the-window stuff, but you can either let it get you down or aggressively move to take advantage of the opportunities that will result and/or focus on things that will more than offset this market downfall. Millions can be made simply by not focusing on the negatives like most others will do.

I’m in China as a guest of Dell this week, getting a deep dive of its biggest initiative. This initiative is focused on becoming dominant in what most believe is a market that will eclipse the U.S. and European market combined in a few years. I’m talking about Asia Pacific in general, China in particular, and Dell’s massive plan to truly be a multinational by focusing on this geography.

I’m taken by the fact that Michael Dell, who runs Dell, and Steve Felice, who runs this very important unit, are focused like lasers not on the problems they can no more address than any of us, but on the massive opportunities this market represents.

Driving Change

While the company is known for direct sales, Dell now has over 15,000 stores carrying Dell products and over 25,000 partners who help sell Dell offerings. Dell realized early on that mobile was the future and made a substantial move by enhancing and building out its notebook lines. Dell does not believe in the one-size-fits-all model.

For instance, I’m typing this article on a custom notebook with a Michael Ming design on the cover, which was created using a print technology. Look across the consumer laptop lines, which are generally used by small business, education and executive customers; they have more colors, more unique designs, and more choices than almost every other single vendor.

This need for variety goes to the core of the Chinese market, which sees over 100 new unique cars introduced into it every year. Simply walking through a Chinese store, you will see a massive number of choices from all of the vendors. This speaks to why Apple has not done well here; it simply doesn’t offer enough choice.

Going Native

Dell has moved its design center to Shanghai, which I toured, along with a number of other international analysts and journalists. The leading example was the new Studio Hybrid consumer desktop, which is very small, yet customizable through skins, including one made out of bamboo. This is one of the most ecologically friendly products created for the segment. These changes are coming out of China which, increasingly, given the power of that market, will be driving much of what we buy for everyone operating on a global scale.

Dell Latitude ON

One of the coolest new features Dell will be driving into the laptop space is Dell Latitude ON. The laptop boots into a light operating system, allowing you to do basic things and giving you multi-day battery life. However, this is based on Linux, which would be used in addition to Windows, and this multi-OS kind of solution has never been popular with IT becasue of the cost of managing a second non-aligned OS. I still think the RedFly concept is a better way to do this because it provides the additional benefit of a single WAN connection for the notebook and the cell phone.

Still, we will see a number of vendors explore this idea of a laptop that can provide multi-day battery life and push back on the move of smartphones into this segment. Otherwise, those smartphones may displace laptops in a few short years.

Drinking the Kool-Aid and Wrapping Up

Part of the problem with attending an event like this is that you can easily be taken up by the positive message and lose track of other things that may be more important. The facts that Dell doesn’t have a smartphone effort, has drifted behind HP in the PC market, and lags Apple in margin performance are reminders that all things aren’t perfect.

Still, this was an impressive event. Dell has its top people focused on turning the company into a powerhouse in China, a market that is quickly becoming the most important in the world. Even more crucial, it is showcasing what can happen if you put the negatives of current events behind you and focus instead on the opportunities. The problems we have today will pass and companies like Dell that focus on success in the future will likely be best positioned to benefit from it. Something to remember as we make our own life choices.
