The comments on this thread are immensely frustrating. Just because all the work you need to do can be done on an iPad doesn't mean that all the work everyone needs to do can be done on an iPad, or that it wouldn't be easier on a desktop/laptop OS.
And yes I know there's some (creative/primary - not augmenting something else you're doing) work that does work better on iOS^. But that's an exception, not the rule.
^I mention the OS and not the tablet form factor because (as the article mentions) that is the main problem here.
And none of this really matters, it's fine to have a tablet with an OS that's tailored for certain use cases. But people keep trying to claim that an iPad can replace a regular PC, and that's just not true for a lot of people.
