Many tablets these days can use external keyboards, so they can be used
like laptops. These keyboards come in cases that hold the tablet. This
does potentially have an advantage: you have one device that's both
tablet and laptop. If you just want to read something you can leave the
keyboard at home, but it's there if you want to do more.
I haven't tried this setup yet, but a friend of mine uses it.
