@jimfrost If the iPad replaced your desktop, then you obviously don't do anything on your desktop. Considering that the only desktop feature that the iPad has is email. And you can't even read attachments, or watch videos that come in emails, or open up documents that come in emails (depending on the document). And there is no flash for the web browser, and no productive office app, and no multitasking.
So if all you do is check like 3 websites for news or look at text email on a laptop, then I guess it does replace it. But for any kind of real content, it cant do it, and since it has no local storage, it cant even store documents, let alone produce them in a format that anyone else can read.
