I just replaced my standard desktop machine of the past few years, an iMac, with a Retina MacBook Pro. There’s no question that it’s far more powerful than even the current top-of-the-line iPad. And that gap isn’t likely to close for years. His point is: > The iPad is my new road machine. which is precisely the opposite of "tablets are fine for people consuming content" While you're completely right that the MBA is more powerful, it also costs more, and is less modular (you can't pop off the keyboard).

He went with a rMBP and an iPad, while personally I'd do with a Mac Pro, a 13" Air and a 7" tablet. We all have differing requirements, but his point is to report that tablets are part of the productivity toolset today, and one that will increase in the future as they get more refined and capable.
