Abstract

Tablet personal computers (tablet PCs) are popular electronic devices worldwide. They influence many aspects of our social lives. Compared with laptop computers, tablet PCs feature characteristics including enhanced portability and display quality. The purposes of this study were to examine users’ attitudes toward tablet personal computers and identify the effects of external factors. This study extended the technology acceptance model and used perceived mobility and viewing experience as the external variables in the proposed model. This study used a web-based survey of 511 participants and found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were key determinants of attitude toward tablet personal computers. Also, the perceived ease of use and usefulness of tablet PCs were significantly enhanced by perceived mobility and viewing experience. In addition, all traditional relationships from the origin technology acceptance model were supported. Lastly, both implications of the study and areas of future research are discussed.
