# Tablet | ![img \|150](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Wikipedia_Kindle_Fire_%26_iPad_1439.JPG/320px-Wikipedia_Kindle_Fire_%26_iPad_1439.JPG) | A **Tablet computer**, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single, thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, have similar capabilities, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network. Unlike laptops, tablets usually run mobile operating systems, alongside smartphones. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Tablet computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer) |
