Agreed, Russell, and now I think about it, I use my Samsung tablet to take notes all day at seminars. It is possible to get your knees in the right spot to rest your tablet to type. 

The other consideration is that having a tablet to "use anywhere" can include having it with books, music, movies, notes, emails etc. without having to type on it. But it's true that you do lose some functionality or utility if you can't type on it "anywhere". And you can. It's far more easy to pack a tablet in a briefcase or bag than a laptop. Battery life is far greater than a laptop.

What's the point in having a tablet unless you are going to use it anywhere?

 

A laptop is good for typing on a table, has a better screen, and a keyboard - which is a massive feature you don't realise until you lose it.
