Yea, the ability to replace a laptop for work is wildly dependent on the work you do. I need Windows or Linux and a keyboard and trackpad or mouse to even attempt to do my job. And it's much easier with a desktop with lots of RAM and a 24" or larger monitor. Someone else I know rocks a laptop as a daily driver, but it needs to be docked, with 3 monitors to be fully useful.
If you don't need programs that need a desktop OS (well written web apps only) and only need apps or say Zoom (and no real use of zoom chat or virtual backgrounds etc) then I can see a tablet working.
I'm a programmer and I need three screens to work effectively (otherwise I get into 8+ virtual desktops). However, I'm using a Minisforum UM790 Pro and not a laptop, because what’s the point in having another screen I don’t use and a keyboard that’s awful.
That's how I do it. Only it's a single 32:9 monitor. Gaming PC has been relegated to the living room. Single cable to dock the laptop. Gets unplugged when I leave the house. Anything that needs power gets remoted into the gaming PC.
