I must say that I am far less productive with a tablet computer (and a mobile phone as well).

Of course one can connect a bluetooth keyboard and improve the experience a little. There are always notebooks which can turn their screen around and can be used as tablets, too.

That said, there might be cases where a tablet works more flawless than a notebook. For scientific papers perhaps.

Personally I would probably use an iPad Pro only to read color comic books but for that specific use case it might be a little bit too expensive.
