Tablets are really all that the average individual needs.
Online reading and research.
Bill pay / account management.
Email.
Social and entertainment content.
When you think about it even a low end PC is overkill since it's capabilities are far in excess of what that consumer needs or will ever take advantage of.
In a nutshell, tablet users only need to consume content, not create it.
Edit: yeah, what the id10t said.
