It was quite clear from previous discussions that people were unclear about this term, so having this as a disambiguation page which explains all the different uses is the clearest solution - and as there are three different possible articles people might want to read. It still links to Tablet Personal Computer. -- Eraserhead1 < talk> 08:17, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Tablet PC stands for Tablet Personal Computer, just as PC stands for Personal Computer. There are no links to "Computer" or "Wintel" or even "IBM PC" on the PC disambiguation page. Therefore, there shouldn't be any on the Tablet PC either and Tablet PC should simply redirect to what it means: Tablet Personal Computer.
There is no confusion here -- except to those who think the iPad should be included with the Tablet Personal Computers. Fortunately these people don't really write in reliable sources. The myth that Tablet PC might mean something else than a portable personal computer is dispelled when searching for Tablet PC on Amazon: all results titled as "Tablet PCs" are Tablet Personal Computers. No iPads, no Kindles, not any other portable media appliance that doesn't adhere to the personal computer definition. Same finds on e-Bay: electronics.shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_npmv=3&_trksid=m570&_nkw=Tablet+PC&_sacat=293 Tablet Personal Computers only -- and especially Androids, not a single shred of evidence of a Tablet PC that is not a Tablet Personal Computer. Also no "Microsoft Tablet PC" on either search (and why should they? Microsoft Tablet PC is a specification not a product like Tablet PCs). It is obvious from the above that users (even eBayers) are not confused.
There is no reason to lead users to anything else than Tablet Personal Computer when they are looking for Tablet PC. "Disambiguating" Tablet PC to anything else than Tablet Personal Computer leads to confusion instead of clarification.
I had to unlink eBay because it's flagged for spamming; just copy and paste on the URL bar Vyx ( talk) 07:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm here in response to the request for a third opinion on WP:3O. Unfortunately I must decline the request as there are already more than two participants involved in this discussion. You might like to consider using WP:RFC to get some more uninvolved people to look at the issue. Thparkth ( talk) 16:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
