10 reasons why tablets will overtake laptops in the next year | TechRepublic via kwout

While I would not have ranked these in the same order the following 10 reasons will point tablets overtaking laptops in the next year:

1. Power consumption
2. Viruses (lack of)
3. Portability
4. Cost effectiveness
5. Online connection
6. Available applications (especially on the iPad)
7. User friendliness (my number 2 ranking)
8. Bluetooth connectivity (my number 1 ranking)
9. Efficiency
10. Social integration

Laptops will still serve the purpose primarily as input devices at least until the tablets mature to the point were they do this better as well.
