    That depends on what kind of things you wanna do on the tablet or laptop? Are you a designer? then i guess you want to go for an laptop. If you only do marketing a tablet is easier. So define your question a little bit more!

    I can't use tablet for business) just used as gps, ebook reader, photocamera, mobile, sometime skype, but with skype a problem, because a part of history will be lost after runing on laptop.

    Surface Pro 3 or similar device is good too. My next device will be one like SP3.
    Powerful processor in a tablet. To get large screen at home you will need one external monitor.
    I don't like the keyboard they provide. I would love buying one bluetooth keyboard instead.

    Also I'm checking more details on Core M processor. How much it comparable with Core i3/i5 processor? Can handle my need or not? There are a lot of questions on this.

    You can do that with a Core i3/i5/i7 tablet. When you need a larger screen, you can use external monitor.

    One can choose keyboard that can be attached to the device when you want.
    But I would prefer a bluetooth keyboard, so that when at home I can use it with a large screen. So using external keyboard is my choice.
    And when on the go, no need to use a keyboard. Screen touch will do.

    With laptop you can't remove the keyboard if you want.
    So both have their positive & negative points. Like it used to be Laptop vs Desktop.

    It all depends on your kind of work. If you need to check your email and want to get connected with your social and professional network then tablet is more than sufficient. But if you are looking for any freelance work which includes coding then tablet is of no use and you have to opt for laptop only. Both are equally beneficial on their part but none is replacement for another.

    Ipad would work. Or try Samsung Galaxy tab. Other android-based tab works fine too.

    Get a ultrabook, that will be my recommendation. Some powerful ultrabooks which you can use as normal laptop, as well as tablet when you need them. They will be really helpful for usage. I will get a windows os tablet as windows had more features than android and you can benefit from it. if you still want a tablet then get surface pro 3.

    I wondered as you and bought ipad. It is suitable for the job or gently when you have little time.
    After a long time, I think laptop is still more efficient
