Anyways, that being said, here's the results of your answers:
So, most folks understood the gist and chose tablets. But why? Well, I gave folks the options of voicing their 'why's.
For tablets:
- ease of use.
- Considering what powerhouses a lot of modern laptops are, and given that they don't take up much more space than a tablet, It's laptops, hands down.
- so much smaller and easier... and apps help make it more advantageous than 'software'
- My laptop is my main PC. The tablet is my travelling companion.
- Portable and sturdy
- portability
- nicer
- 99% use is casual and the tablet is good enough
- a desktop is for real work, tablet is the fun part of a laptop.
- More portable
- Mobility
For laptops:
- more power!
- It's more productive.
- does everything a desktop does
- Content creation and program compatibility with desktop.
- does more, easier to type.
- More efficient work space

Both sides make very good arguments. What it boils down to, I guess, is what you're planning on doing with the secondary device. Is it just a consumption item, or a tinkering device? Either or, slowly but surely I think we'll see the demise of laptops as tablets get better and better.
Heck, look at that Asus Trio. Wicked.
