I agree on the CPU power front. My core i7 machine will easily last another 5 years without needing to upgrade, because in my opinion Intel have reached a point where they can't better themselves at this point in time. But what about storage? An iPad for a 64gb model is super expensive, about as expensive as a laptop with at least 500gb, sometimes 750gb of space and a decent screen + CPU. Sure not everyone needs space, but we are living in a day and age where more people are downloading than ever. A 64gb tablet vs my 3.5tb of PC storage with option of buying another $70 1tb drive and adding it in when I need more, tablets can't quite compete on that scale.
