Precisely. I don't see how a tablet is much of an improvement in form factor over a laptop. Recall the 'iPad + Linode' experiment [1]. In every photo Mark O'Conor posted of his iPad in action, he had an Apple wireless keyboard next to it. A screen and a keyboard. That's a novel idea. Combined, they take up just about as much space as a laptop (11-13") but the combination is far less usable. Smaller screen, less processing power, less flexibility using iOS, less customisability, so on and so forth. O'Connor was attempting to nullify one of those drawbacks (lack of processing power), but he can't escape all the others.
