Now that's just trying to have things both ways... tablets are different in both physical presence and manner of usage to computers or they're computers and just the same... trying to use what's been believed about computers to tablets is not quite evidence or tending to more anecdotal and comparative...
Put another way, it's a bit different sitting at any desk or relaxing in any seating arrangement whilst working on a tablet compared to sitting in a more formal workstation mousing around and poking at the keyboard...
