Combining Tablets with the traditional Desktop and Laptop makes sense, iPads were referred to as consumption devices for a long period after being released in 2007, the reality of tablet devices (iOS, Android, Windows etc) though is that they are mostly suitable for the purposes of a traditional PC with a decent AppStore ecosystem behind them.
Personally I don’t own an iPad, I do understand why though the device is coveted over others: Design, Consistency and Apps make the Apple device punch well above all other vendors.
Market positions like this don’t ‘just’ remain though and Apple have a lot of competition from devices that are good enough for the majority.
