I couldn't imagine ever replacing a PC with a tablet. Almost none of the software I need is available as an app and what is available just isn't the same. The lack of processing power is also a big issue. A cheap laptop is much more powerful than an expensive tablet. Also, I don't want a tablet that is pretty much owned and controlled by Google or Apple.
Running interactive software in the cloud doesn't work very well if you don't have a good, low latency fiber internet connection.
