Well for one thing, it might not necessarily be an ARM tablet one gets.
Intel are apparently making great progress on the SoC front allowing them to make much thinner, lighter, cooler, energy efficient x86 tablets. These will have the best of both worlds. You can run all those metro apps when you're in tablet form. You can dock and run all those windows 7 applications laptop-style.
PC Pro recently tried to use iPad and Android tablets instead of PCs for a day, the results were not good. They even used bluetooth keyboards. You can see their results. Even a Windows 7 tablet would probably have fared better for them.
Besides, I dislike the interface of all the Android tablets I've seen so far.
