Thanks for asking Michael.

Short rule of thumb. Anything without keyboards are mainly consumption devices. Sure you can write your novel on it. But it'll be tiring.

Tablets were created for the 80% of masses. Those who do nothing besides email, facebook, youtube, netflix. And buying a couple of things here and there.

If you create online - are a designer, writer, coder etc - then you shouldn't go for a tablet as a primary device yet. Its not a laptop replacement for heavy users.
