   Between a laptop and a tablet pc?
   
   A touchscreen laptop might as well be a tablet pc, and a tablet pc is just a laptop minus the keyboard, even tho you can still buy one for them that it docks onto.
   
   So what’s the difference?
   If they both had the same amount of programs, memory, ram, and processing power/speed.
   
   The reason I ask, is because someone told me the tablet is less secure. How?!?
   You can literally put the same shit on it that you have on your laptop.
   
   Or am I blind to something fuckin obvious? Lol

   I don’t know the person that told me that.
   That’s why I’m asking, because it doesn’t make sense to me.

   Back in the old days tablets used to be 2x the price of a laptop with 1/2 the utility, came with shitty ass styluses that didn't work properly and gave you bragging rights at meetings.
   
   These days not much different than each other.
   
   ETA: I had one of the first tablet PCs when I worked at Compaq...I sold it on ebay after a couple of months for 2k. At the time the new one was like 4 or 5k as I recalled (this was 2001 or 2002 or so). Of course I'd paid nothing for it...I just signed it out at work and never returned it.

    You might run into the problem that you can't run something on your tablet that you can run on your laptop. The CPU architecture is liable to be different between the two devices.
