What you're really talking about is the producer/consumer divide. Tablets are geared to comsumers and laptop/notebook/netbook/desktops are geared towards producers.
Laptop/notebook/netbook/desktops are used to create content as much as they consume it. (even writing an E-mail is creating content).
Tablets are used mostly to watch/listen/play existing content, with the touch screen acting as a souped-up remote control. While you can create some content, it's awkward and inconvenient (and sometimes impossible, like no optical drives.)
If that's what floats your boat, more power to you. Those of us who insist on having more creative options aren't drawn to tablets.
