Q. I'm looking to buy a tablet pc on ebay and figure that after i can upgrade the os. I just don't know which ones will be compatible with it.
A. The only OS's that have the complete TabletPC functionality built-in are WinXP Pro Tablet Edition and Vista. And even with these you generally have to have the proper restore disks to prevent digging around the 'net for some device drivers.
There are TabletPC's running Mac OS and Linux, but there is no "package" that loads what you need, You would have to find all the Tablet screen and pen device drivers, all the handwriting recognition software, all the internal server apps, etc yourself to "build" the TPC system.
Vista is a great OS for TPC's, but upgrading to Vista can be problematic as many machines designed to originally run XP won't have the hardware specs to run Vista well. Maxxing out your RAM will help but most TPC's do not have upgradeable video cards.
You'll probably be Ok with anything current from the last 3 - 4 years provided you don't want to run Aero effects, etc in Vista.

Whats are some differences between a laptop and a tablet?
Q. I know that a tablet is touch screen when you swivel it over, but are there any other differences? I want to know because the price difference is a lot.
A. The biggest differences between a laptop and tablet systems is that usually laptops have better speed CPU's and larger Hard drives. Now some tablet system run Window based software and others don't and you can even get a laptop with Linux.
I believe that Laptops are better designed then tablets in terms of handling you dropping them plus the usage. Because tablets for the most part touch and tap controlled you will see damage to the screen area much faster then a laptop. I think you have more flexibility with laptops as well since you add accessories much easier and software which some tablets won't run well you can use them for more things where tablets are designed more for kind of reading.
If you want to rotate your screen just buy a monitor that will allow that option which some laptops have on them.
That's some of the reason I like, hope that helps you out.
