The purpose is to help software developers understand what Tablet PC users are doing with their computers so they can come up with good ideas for future programs.
The Tablet PC is available in many form factors and I can understand why it is important to make the right choices prior to purchase time so the new Tablet will be sure and fit the needs of the user.
The killer feature could easily be the Tablet PC that you could take anywhere, so when you need to refer to your data, or jot a note, or look up information online, you can do it because you have the Tablet PC with you and not back at your home or office.

The IBM Portable PC, a "transportable" personal computer, is a small suitcase-sized system that has a built-in 9-inch, amber composite video monitor; one 5 1/4-inch, half-height floppy disk drive (with space for an optional second drive); an 83-key keyboard; two adapter cards; a floppy disk controller; and a CGA.
Although IBM no longer seems in a position to dictate the majority of PC standards (Intel and Microsoft seem to have taken on that role), all of the original PC specifications and standards were determined by IBM and set forth in its original line of personal computers.
Some of the systems such as the PC and earlier XT and AT systems only supports the ID byte; the submodel and revision bytes had not been established when those systems were developed.

 Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Tablet PC Roundup
Today, most Tablet PCs are not viable alternatives for the typical business traveler, but it's equally clear that these machines were designed with other needs in mind.
The Acer TravelMate was the first Tablet PC I ever used and reviewed, so it has a bit of a special place in my heart.
However, the Toshiba was also a bit heavier than most of the other devices, though I don't consider this a problem, given the performance and capability trade-offs.
