i dont know exactly what you're asking because you left such a brief post..
im assuming one of the following
1. you're concidering purchasing a tablet pc made by compaq, however you're curious as to getting a normal pc instead.
2. you want to know if something can be connected (perhaps a wacom? is that what you're implying?) if you decide not to get a tablet pc.
so once this is cleared up, an answer will be given by someone i'm sure.
also, welcome to PA. You won't get far with that horrible spelling and lack of clarity though...
1: okay for starters i am NOT A NEWB i have been reading for about five years and this is just the first time i have gotten a forum here cause i dont spend most of my time on the internet and when i do do things like forums people get pissed at me because i dont reply often
2: i am consedering either getting a compact tablet pc OR getting a Aiptek HP8UPRO Hyperpen 8000U Pro PC Tablet and hooking it up to my labtop BUT before i get anything i need some advice to on if i CAN hook it up to my labtop or not
3: about the spelling i am just thirteen sense yesterday and no i am not exactly the best speller so sorry for not bieng spelling queen like you
4: sorry if i came off rash i just dont like bieng told off in a jackass manner like you just did
5: you might wanna lighten up just incase becasue most people dont really care weather or not you get 20/20's on all your spelling quizes

for one, you ARE a newb unless this is another account, just because you've been reading doesnt mean you've been paying attention, because after 5 years you should know what flys around here and what doesnt.
i dont know anyone that would get pissed off about someone not replying often.. but hey you can think what you want.
this isnt a spelling quiz.
this is fucking penny arcade.
and you asked for help, but didn't make any sense.
not my fault that you dont have the patience to learn anything on your own.
anyway i'll stop being a dick
seen as how the Aiptek HP8UPRO Hyperpen 8000U has a usb connection it can be used with your laptop as long as it has usb. if it doesnt, you can purchase a card that will take care of that.
EDIT:
amazon says this:
System Requirements: Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP or Mac OS 9.x and higher, 200 MHz (or equivalent) processor, 32 MB RAM (64 MB recommended), video card with 2 MB RAM for minimum 16 bit (high color) display, CD-ROM drive, available USB port
im not very social so yeah sorry if i said something rash

I have a 9*12 Intuos tablet and love it to bits... it takes a little getting used to (the whole draw here, look there bit) but once you get set up in a comfortable position and learn to look somewhere your hand isn't... it's great.
Only thing is.. if your laptop is big, you might find yourself a long way away from the screen depending on your tablet size, so that might cause you issues in acuracy.
Also, don't get angry, i'm not digging at you, i don't know you, i just do need to say.... you're 13. Are you such an art prodigy that a tablet pc would really benefit you in any way? I would think a good all around laptop that can crank out games and apps fine and a decent tablet... just seems it would suit a bit better... I got my big ass graphics tablet when i was 16 and i've only now (21) really started making art that makes me feel it was a worthy purchase. That doesn't mean i didn't have fun messing around with it, but it was a ton of cash that really wasn't used much for the first few years.
If you're just doodling on your science books etc i wouldn't recomend a tablet pc... it's a bit of a gimmick if you don't have a serious use for it.
As Gabe says about his... they only really use it for getting other comic artists to draw on at conventions and things
