Earlier in my life, I built a computing concept consisting of three computers. Recently I added a fourth.
First is a simple handheld computing device like a phone or an (at the time) ipod touch.
Next is something that is portable and replacable like a netbook, chromebook, or tablet.
Next up is a fully powered computer you'd probably keep at home, either a desktop replacement laptop or a full fledged desktop PC.
The last one is new, but I now think everyone should have a server. For the people whose Internet plans make it practical you can have an internet server that runs federated services. For those who don't have good internet plans at least you can have a local NAS to store your own files on at least a RAID-1 drive.
Thing is, at the netbook/tablet level, I never really thought a tablet was a contender. You pay about as much for a computer, but the tablet can't do as much, is less robust, and doesn't have a working keyboard. I've got a bunch because I thought maybe the problem is that I just wasn't doing the tablet thing right, but I seem to be mistaken because I always prefer something with a keyboard or something much smaller that I can tuck away when I'm not using it.
