Charlie's Surface Tablet was a Surface Tablet that belonged to hacker Charlie Bradbury.
History[]
The Surface Tablet belonging to Charlie Bradbury first appeared in Pac-Man Fever when Charlie aided the Winchesters in a case involving a "bastard-offshoot" of a djinn. During the case, Charlie attempted to use the tablet to determine what monster they were facing, x-ing out several on the screen of her tablet when they were discarded as possibilities before Dean comes up with djinn from John Winchester's Journal. During this time, Sam comments that he both hates the tablet and wants one while Charlie says the same about the journal.
In Slumber Party, Charlie uses her tablet to hack the Commodore 64 and download its data. As the download will take awhile, they leave the tablet on the machine but get distracted from their original mission when they return to find Dorothy Baum and the Wicked Witch loose.
In Book of the Damned, Charlie uses her Surface Tablet in her and Sam's efforts to crack the code on the Book of the Damned. However, the code proves too complex for them to crack even with all of Charlie's codebreaking software and everything they could get from the Men of Letters archives. The effort is ended when Sam apparently destroys the Book of the Damned when Jacob Frankenstein arrives.
In Dark Dynasty, Sam enlists Charlie's help once again to decode Nadia's Codex, the key to breaking open the Book of the Damned in secret. Though reluctant, Charlie agrees and takes pictures of the pages of the codex with her phone and transfers them to the tablet to aid in her search. Charlie attempts using the tablet to search for any similarities between the symbols in the codex and the Book of the Damned to no avail causing Rowena to call the tablet "overrated."
After leaving in secret, Charlie continues her efforts at the Blackbird Motel to break the codex using her notes. Charlie finally succeeds moments before being found by Eldon Frankenstein. Though Dean instructs her to give him what she has, Charlie refuses and instead hides in the bathroom. There, she uploads her notes into an email that she sends to Sam. Once the email is sent, Charlie destroys her Surface Tablet to prevent the Styne Family from gaining access to the information on it, drawing the attention of Eldon who brutally murders her.
In The Prisoner, Sam gets the email that Charlie sent him before destroying the tablet, providing him with the decoder that he needs in order to allow Rowena to read the Book of the Damned.
