I know a lot of geeks like to think Convergence is a killer feature as a device feature, but I think this is completely mistaken. Convergence is about data, right? You want all your data to appear magically on whatever form factor of computing you are using. The key mistake of the concept of convergence at the device level, is that it runs against Moore's Law. Modern smartphones are pretty darn powerful, but the SoCs that drive them, are also pretty darn cheap. That means that whatever shell you want to dock your phone with, can just have the same SoC and be a computing device in its own right. It seems odd to me that you'd want to have lots of shells (be they tablet shells, laptop shells, or docks with monitor/kb/mouse on a desktop) sitting around not able to do any computing, because their CPU is somewhere else in your pocket. For a few extra bucks per shell, you can make it a primary node in your computing life. Or for a few more extra bucks per shell, you can make it a powerful node in your computing life. Convergence is much more convenient at the cloud level - all of your form factors have their own CPU/RAM/Storage (which can also then be varied, to allow devices with more power delivery to offer more computing power) and the data can flow magically between them. This is already a reality today. My watch, phone, tablet, laptop and desktop all have access to the same data and I can use all of them at once if I want to.
