Call it the "post tablet" or "tablet PC" world when the categories merge again.
I think laptops and desktops the best formfactor for traditional style computing. some work simply requires good keybord, big monitors, mouse etc..

But tablets today (ipad and transformer and the like) are also used for real work: doctors, lawyers, writers. Lots written on this. it is a new model and it is another choice for people who only used laptops and desk tops previously and did not need all that power and weight. Not just for comsuption. Real work too.
