Explanation
The main difference between a laptop and a tablet is that tablets are typically not upgradeable. Laptops generally allow users to upgrade components such as RAM, storage drives, and sometimes the battery. Tablets are manufactured with soldered or integrated components that cannot be replaced or upgraded by the user. While some tablets do have multi-touch interfaces and solid-state storage, laptops can also have these features, making them non-distinguishing. The statement that there are 'no field serviceable parts' applies more narrowly to some tablets but is not the defining general difference - non-upgradeability is the most broadly accurate distinguishing characteristic.
