I can hold a tablet on the couch after a long day. I can rest but still go on Internet. I do not believe it is either a one or another replacing device. It is both for people's lifestyle. That's my two cents anyway.

My experience as well.

What has changed for me is that I use my desktop less than I used to. But who wants to do video editing, programming, web development or serious word processing on a tablet? Not me, I use my desktop for that.

But for checking in on FR and looking for a good Mexican restaurant on the road or in my easy chair my iPad is simply the perfect device. For me at least, my tablet and my desktop are both here to stay.

Exactly. Motion pictures and television shows are now edited on desktop computers. I don't think they are going to switch over to tablets to do that. I edit video, use Photoshop to edit still photos, and design graphics for our company's website, I sure can't do that on a tablet.
