Plus, I find 1.5 lbs to already push the limits of a comfortable device to hand-hold, netbooks don't really cut it in that department.

Or, to put it another way: Why do I need a keyboard when I have a touchscreen?

Of course much of this is preferences, and sure a netbook can do certain things a tablet cannot -- but nowhere near as much as you might assume. However, that does not change the fact that simply because a tablet does not appeal to you specifically is not evidence that it has no appeal or utility whatsoever.
