Tablets have been around for several years now and if you have to ask the question you clearly don't need one. Whether you want one or not is a different question.
Unless you need one in a working environment then owning one is a want not a need. Most people fall into the want category.
I don't need my iPhone, I could make and receive all my calls by landline; I don't need my iPad Air, I could sit at a desk and use my desktop for emails, surfing and productivity or sit in front of my TV to watch catchup TV, youtube etc; I don't need my 4G iPad Mini, I could stop doing all I do on my iPad Air whilst out travelling and wait till I got home; I don't need my MacMini or Macbook; I could use my old Dell PC (which now runs Linux instead of Windows).
But using all these gadgets just makes life more convenient for me as they all work seamlessly together. I can communicate, research, watch video or TV, listen to music or radio and many other things whenever I want wherever I want. No, it's not a cheap option but at the moment I can afford to do this, it adds to the variety of life and life is short so I enjoy it whilst I can.
Only you can truly answer whether its for you or not.
