And they are considerably more expensive than ordinary laptops so the only 
reason I could see benefit would be if you had sighted users who would benefit 
from the screen.

You plug a USB keyboard into it. You can install JFW (and other screen readers) 
on Tablet PCs. But, from a blindness point of view there isn't any difference 
then using a regular laptop since the touch screen isn't of any use.

How does a blind person using JAWS operate a touch sensative tablet?

 

I might be wrong but I can think of a whole host of issues around using one 
with JAWS.

Anyone know how well the laptops with the screen used as a writing tablet work 
with speech?  Is the software accessible?

What exactly are those screens called?
