It's all about right tools for the job

The on screen keyboards on tablets are OK for short messages and typing into search engines, but not really much more, though you can get add on keyboards if you really want. I have had lots of different laptops for work and personal use and none of them have had a built in keyboard that I could use for document and Excel work as well as an add on keyboard and mouse.
