I've had a windows tablet for this reason.

It's great if I'm at home and want something compact to watch stuff in bed, but I can also grab it in a backpack with a low profile keyboard and mouse and now I have the weight of something like a netbook but more powerful.

there's still the niche of people who work with graphics who need to be mobile (a lot of photographers & filmmakers, and quite the number of people who work with 2D & 3D graphics).

powerful laptops are not something bad, you're just not the target audience

Oh for sure, I am not questioning the need for more powerful tablets if it fits your work/life style.

I do think that a lighter weight tablet would probably be better for a lot of people who don't necessarily need GPU tasks/intensive CPU tasks on the go.
