That depends on the kind of work you need to do with your portable device. My partner completely replaced his laptop with his iPad two or three years ago - dealing with customer and colleague communication (email and Skype, mostly), reading scientific papers, remotely monitoring lab machinery, and so on. He sits down at our home desktop computer maybe once every couple of weeks, if that.
Serious writers need a separate Bluetooth keyboard, but yes heaps of (but not all) people can and have replaced their laptops with tablets.
