the problem right now with a tablet (I assume you're talking about a Ipad or samsung galaxy etc) is, it's limited to entertainment. lacking a keyboard and OS that can run programs doesn't make it a real option for someone that needs a real computer to do work with. it's just a large screen smart phone without the phone. an actual tablet PC, is a lot better. but again, you're looking at a very expensive computer with very limited power and upgrade options.
