This article certainly resonates with me. For a long time, tablets never made sense to me. I've had 13" laptops for a decade now (iBook G4 12", MacBook 1st Gen Intel, Lenovo X220), and they were always highly portable and had decent battery life. Along came smartphones with ever increasing screen sizes, leading up to my trusty Note 2. I've tried a number of tablets. 7" is too similar to my phone. 10" is too close to the laptop. I need a separate bag for it anyway, and it feels about as practical as the laptop at home. I never considered tablets being devices to work on, and I'm that guy who will use his laptop on the couch just because I'm still used to it. Along came tablets with stylus. Being able to scribble and take notes on a screen just made sense, even if there was no OCR and it's all just bitmaps. I followed suit on the retina jump, switching from a 10" Android Thinkpad Tablet to a Note 10 2014. I have to say, the tablet with stylus is about the best computer I've ever used. I use it to display scores when singing, to draw bitmap sketches when designing, to read PDF and scribble away in it, etc.. LectureNotes is the killer app that made me buy into the whole device class. Granted I still play Hearthstone on it, I watch Youtube and Twitch, I browse the web and do internet stuffs, but that would never be worth the maintenance effort of owning a separate device between my phone and my laptop. At some point I'd like to try a Windows Tablet, I heard they have better PDF viewers and decent OCR. iOS devices on the other hand feel completely out of place to me nowadays. Phones are nice if impractically small, but tablets are nothing more than beautiful toys, and they're all overpriced by a factor of 4 relative to the use I see in them. They'd be nice as a fourth device, but not as a first or second one.
