OP, it varies and solely depends on what the end user intents doing with the device. You will not tell me that a graphic designer, code writer or a heavy gamer will refer a Tablet Pc to a high end Laptop Pc.

Well, you are either advertising a product or you copied this trash from somewhere. I was opportuned to own a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. I also use Samsung galaxy note 4. In fact there is no difference between a tablet and a good phablet. A tablet is only a glorified smart phone using the same mobile OS. After sometime I was bored carrying the same expensive product. It doesn't make sense. I disposed off the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet and got a Microsoft surface pro 3. This is both my tablet and a full fledged computer. I do my PDMS, core draw. excel spreadsheet, and all my office application I need for my business like I would if am using my desk top or laptop computer.
In conclusion, get a good phablet and a laptop. And you are good to go with your computing. My opinion though.

1. Portability
Tablets are thin and light. If you have a MacBook Air, or an ultrabook, the distinction may not seem as significant, but when it comes to most laptops, a tablet is thinner, lighter, and more portable by a long shot. When you’re carrying around a bag all day, the difference between one pound and five pounds adds up. Speaking of bags, most laptops require their own luggage to transport from Point A to Point B, but you can grab a tablet on your way out the door like you’re picking up your keys or sunglasses.

2. Functionality

The tablet may not be as versatile as a laptop in the functionality department, but it is significantly better than a smartphone. Tablets have larger displays that give you more real estate to get real work done. In fact, with larger tablets the display is on par with smaller laptops, allowing you to get more done. Of course, the virtual keyboard uses up half the display, so you have less screen to work with when you’re actually working. Regardless, though, tablets beat smartphones when it comes to being productive.

3. Less Cumbersome

Have you ever tried to get work done on a laptop while riding in a taxi, or during a flight? It’s not fun. It is a project to lug the device out, and then you have to find some relatively flat, stable surface to set it on. It has to be flipped open to view the display or type on the keyboard, so that rules out any use while walking around (at least for anyone with common sense). A tablet is easy to just turn on and use in any environment.

4. Battery Life

Most tablets have battery life that is far better than laptops. Laptops are steadily improving in the longevity department, but most would still struggle to make it through a full work day, and many won’t make it to lunch. Tablets on the other hand, seem to last forever even when pushed to the limits.

5. Flexibility

A tablet sits somewhere between the smartphone and laptop in most areas, and flexibility is no exception. In many ways, a tablet can fill the role of a laptop and perform most, if not all, of the same functions. But, the tablet is also more versatile. Most can take photos, or shoot videos in addition to allowing video chat and conferencing. They also work nicely as e-readers (or in some cases the e-reader has evolved into a tablet) for accessing an entire library of books on the go. Some of these things are technically possible, but ridiculous in a practical sense with a notebook.

A tablet is ideal for some tasks, and suitable for many, but there are still a variety of scenarios where a laptop or smartphone might be a better choice. Consider the pros and cons of each mobile device, and choose the best tool for the task at hand.

1. If u want a portable pc. U can get a 9 or 10 inch windows 8 hybrid... no need to refer to phones here
2. Issalie. U can get some smartphones that r better than mmost tabs. E.g the samsung s6 is bera than almost if not all tecno tabs ever created and can do more things that are versatile. My blackberry q10 is more productive than an average tab and the screen is square and small. If a tab is more productive..why do you always see a desktop on the desk of the receptionist/secretary in most places. The ability of tabs are limited
3. You also can't get work done on a tab. Because it can't be used I handed and you will have to set it down at the end of the day using a laptop bag is optional btw. U can get a portable 1 or a hybrid if u want to be carrying it around. Most tablets have broken. Screens because of this
4. This 1 is not even a joking matter. Android tabs can consume battery like Madd. With the power demanding os and d constant need to connect to d network which wastes battery. But a laptop can actually be shut down to stop all processes. But aa tab will just waste ur battery and time when booting. The batteries of laptops are even bigger than that of tabs
5. If u say a laptop cannot video chat/ take pictures...I won't even answer you again
You could have come up with better points than these. Like accessibility of the tab (easy to bring out nd put back without avn to shut down). Ability to use mobile apps (instagram) fully. Calling, sms. Etc

As long as tabs don't have USB ports, Laptop markate can never fall.
Well said. I wonder why tablet makers dont think of adding USB port(s) to the device. It will make a lot of difference.

Acidosis:
Stop comparing tablets and laptops, they serve different purpose.

Can you install Microsoft Excel or SPSS software on your tab? Can you run complex statistics and big data analytics on a tab? Please stop deceiving the masses.

You haven't heard of MaximaOnAndroid? It's a Computer Algebra System on the android platform
