For me what makes tablet different is the distance you use them. And I think that's also why many people feel that touch doesn't work on laptops when they're comfortable with it on tablets.

If you're reading a book, holding it in your hands works a lot better than looking at it at twice the distance. Same way checking a map at arms length and pinch/zoom right there.

Long movies benefit less from the form factor, but youtube for instance works better.

For what it's worth, 2in1 computers are IMHO pretty good these days. The hinges improved a lot they give the best of both world.
