Tech has come a long way. I have a Surface 3 and although I didn't expect to I almost use it interchangeably with my laptop. Unless I have a specific use for more screen space (i.e. two documents open side by side) I really don't think about which one I grab. Even for longer sessions I find I don't feel the need to reach for the laptop if I happen to be using the tablet. And it's a reasonable compromise of size vs weight for using it as a tablet (reading newspapers/magazines).
I think Windows tablets/convertibles are a significant market waiting to happen when people realize how handy it is to do everything you could do on a laptop on an even more mobile device. Of course there will be lots of people that are strictly using their device for apps and media consumption that will never move from Android or Apple.
