For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

I felt the same way until I took up drawing.

I've used both, and I'll take an iPad over a wakom tablet for drawing any day. Every time I got an os update the tablet would stop working. I couldn't really find a convenient spot for it on my desk. It was huge and made my keyboard awkward to use. Meanwhile, I can carry my iPad around with me and am not tethered to my desk for digital drawing.

I also have terrible vision, it's far easier for me to read (the internet) on an iPad than on my phone.

How do you feel about convertible laptops, then? That should give you the tablet-like experience you prefer, but it's a full-featured computer instead of a crippled sorta-computer.
