Can I use a Tablet PC as an input device on a desktop computer?

Question by Mark: Can I use a Tablet PC as an input device on a desktop computer?
I have a Tablet PC. Is it possible to get that to work as an input device on a desktop computer? In other words, use the Tablet PC like a Wacom Tablet. Either wired somehow or wireless (such as with wifi) would be great.

No, the tablet pc is proprietary to itself. Therese no impute like that supported. No computers could work together like that.

  1. You probably could do this, but it would likely be too clunky and slow for any real use.

    Because the TabletPC is a full computer in itself you cannot use it as an external device.

    You could, however, network the 2 computers and the TPC could run the desktop through various desktop extension applications that are available…but there would likely be unacceptable amounts of lag between the two systems.
