I don't really know anyone who thinks that tablets are replacements for traditional computers. But they might do 90% of what you need most of the time.
We seem to be headed on a one-to-many path. You used to own one desktop computer that did everything. Then you added a laptop for mobility. Then they got cheap enough to buy one for your wife and kids.
Pretty soon you'll have tablets sitting on end tables and coffee tables around the house, another dedicated tablet magnetically clipped to the fridge for recipes and grocery lists, maybe one out in the garage for parts and instructions, our cell phones are more powerful than desktop computers a few years ago, etc.
