It was definitely a term, though perhaps not as common as "pad." I only remember that the term was familiar, well before the "tablet" became a digital device.

The original "Tablet PC" announced by Microsoft in 2000-1 was meant to mean "PC in the form of a tablet".

  • Interesting. I always thought about it in the sense of a "clay tablet" that could only "display" on a single surface, as opposed to a notepad that allowed you to freely flip through pages.
