For me a tablet PC is the ideal device if all you want to do is check the news, weather, read some websites, check your email or look up something. They are also great devices to look through pictures or watch some videos. No good for productivity, where a real computer still is ideally required, but great for content. I would much rather use a tablet PC sat on my sofa than a laptop, and can't think of a single thing I would use a laptop for, that a tablet wouldn't be good for.
