I'm curious as to the reason for the question, when it seems you have pre-determined your answer.

That's what you get for going to Apple sites. :P Seriously, I was considering getting a Surface Pro 3 to replace my old laptop which is on its last legs. I decided to wait a bit longer since (a) it's currently a backup laptop anyway so I don't *need* it right now, (b) it looks like some more Windows tablets/hybrids are coming out now and (c) some other personal reasons. I'm primarily looking at Windows machines since I've found Android to be inadequate for what I want to do with my tablet. Since my current primary laptop is 12" (and a convertible, though not detachable), the SP3 or its successor will be a great replacement when the time comes.

Here replies are mixed type, some said they prefer on pc that intrigued. looks like we need to wait more years when cell phone become equally powerful and can be connected to monitor and keyboard something similar to mac mini. till then PC is stuck in the middle ! so for now i cant make any judgement.

Arguably many of the high end cellphones (especially the phablets) could be connected to a monitor and keyboard now if you really wanted to. I doubt that cellphones will ever become equally powerful as contemporaneous desktops or laptops unless there is a demand to use them that way. Current cellphones, even budget ones, are already more powerful than desktops of the not-too-distant past.
I read on PC (laptop) - news, magazines (still have to zoom on 10" tablet though next time I'll be considering aspect ratio), academic journal articles (same reason), web stories (sometimes also on tablet) and when it's the only device available to me. Like a couple of years ago when my e-ink reader died and I was in a remote location for several months.
