The large tablet form suits some uses pretty well. E.g. My wife just got the 12 inch ipad for her medical practice, and it's much superior to a laptop for carrying along to exam rooms to use as a folder of paper charts would have been 10 years ago. (We're dragging the medical profession kicking and screaming into the 20th century.) The tablet form is much better suited to this usage than a laptop or even the hybrid (the nice word) device sometimes called a 'convertible tablet'. And it's way better than a 'COW' (computer on wheels) which is what it sounds like: a battery powered desktop PC on a rolling cart.

Being able to run full desktop s/w on a tablet would be useful in this example for the occasions when she needs to access the more advanced features of the medical software not present in the tablet version. The current solutuon is running a windows remote desktop on the ipad (!) with the medical management running on a server somewhere in the cloud/farm/whatever. Right now, the only tablet that supoorts this functuonality is the 12" iPad Pro. If an android tablet were available that could run windows software, it might be a more cost-effective solution.
