I'm seeing this change in the workplace as well. I work in a large IT shop and have about 15-20 meetings a week with different departments. Until the past 6 months, everyone was sporting iPads with some sort of bluetooth keyboard case. Now it's ultrabooks or Airs. I used to carry a tablet/keyboard combo as well, but over time the ultrabook became more appealing because of several factors, namely, the keyboard, screen size, and Office suite. Battery life and portability are also now acceptable for all day mobile use on the ultrabook. I don't think there will ever be a tablet compelling enough to switch back. Even the Surface (to me) has too many compromises over a lightweight ultrabook with a usable keyboard.
