Why do I want a tablet? I want to be able to install the Complete National Geographic on it. I want to install Kindle4PC on it. I want to install Paint Shop Pro on it. And if it's even remotely possible, I want to install Visual Studio on it.
If you only want it to watch some movies, surf the web and maybe some books (epub, mobi?, ereader?), yes, I'd agree with you.

Well Tablet PCs capable of what you want exist, but they cost $2000 in useful configurations, have awful battery life, are heavy, loud and hot. But they do exist. Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, and HP all sell them. I imagine some others, like fujitsu or NEC maybe. They aren't anything you'd enjoy reading a book on, though, and that's kinda the point of this site isn't it? eBook reading?
The upshot is those classic tablet PCs are generally capable as midrange general computers and so their gamut of usefulness is much more broad. Just a matter of sacrificing comfort in usage, is all.
