Why tablet/slate PCs tend to suck is they just end up being a touch version of Windows, with touch replacing the mouse, and that's not idea. Vs. something like the iPhone with an OS built from the ground up around touching to control it.

So any tablet that just detaches from a Laptop would probably have the same issues as it would just be running the laptop OS rather than some new OS designed specifically around being a touch/stylus tablet rather than a mouse/keyboard (or touch pad) computer.
I don't see that as too much of a problem. In tablet mode I would only use it for browsing, video, and music. In that case it is fine to use a touch screen as a substitute for a mouse. For everything else I would use keyboard and mouse.
