Also, when I travel, I have to take both a laptop and a tablet. As tablets become a little richer in functionality, I could see less of the need to take both with me.
Most people I know haven't given up having a saw and a screwdriver and a pair of pliers just because they can buy a multitool that "does" all of that.
I also feel that a tablet has far more in common with an ebook reader or a smartphone than with a computer. I've yet to see a tablet do a task that a smartphone can't do, and I have to wonder if the "phablet" (god do I hate that term) won't be the convergence you're looking for rather than a convergence with a laptop.
I have yet to talk to a laptop user who wants to trade it in on something that isn't a general purpose computer.
