Personally, I have no use for a laptop and use my desktop for "real" work (development, audio production). In a mobile setting I prefer my device to actually be lightweight and mobile and the iPad beats any laptop in that regard. It's also my most used device when it comes to casual usage like internet browsing, reading, research, writing, watching, sketching out audio ideas etc. - frankly, these days I can't imagine being bound to my desk to do these things. It's incredibly comfortable to have these abilities at hand whether you're on the couch, preparing meals in the kitchen or laying on the deck.
