Hell, if you want, you can play WoW on an iPad, and it works reasonably well.

Unfortunately we are far from being fully "cloud" capable... in a few years that likely will be the case... but right now if you had a win7 tablet (that wasn't HUGE or clunky)... you could do everything an iPad or Android tablet could do AND you wouldn't need a laptop because it could run "real" programs... Right now ANY tablet is more novelty than utility. Ok, mine isn't but mine is also a pain in the ass to carry around and I wouldn't call it a "true" tablet.
It's going to be interesting to see how things pan out... we have more and more things moving toward the "cloud" which will make tablets as they are NOW.. fully functional... BUT at the same time, tablets are evolving to be more and more powerful with more storage and options which makes them more capable of running "legacy" programs. The big sticking point being that there is only one "real" OS that is tablet capable right now(Ubuntu).. but who knows what the future will bring. It's a funny paradox (well it really isn't a paradox but you get my drift)
