In my opinion a tablet can't replace a notebook!
iPad can't replace a real computer. They are too restricted in what you can do.
Sure, for people who just web browse and check email and twitter an iPad is perfect. But if you do anything beyond that, you will find yourself frustrated. Laptops have far more CPU and storage capacity, and you can store any data you like and manage it however you want.
Right now on my iMac I have six browser tabs open, twitter, Telegram (IM) Email, music going, and seven SSH sessions across two screens. Sure, I technically *can* do that on an iPad if I really wanted to, but I'm not a masochist!
I've said this on several other threads like this, where people who don't use an iPad for anything other than entertainment and most basic functions dismiss it as being incapable of any serious creative or professional work because they don't use it that way.
There are a lot people using ipads as professional tools. Unfortunately not many of them visit this forum.

I have a MacBook Air, iPad Air 2, and a 6 Plus. With the new handoff/continuity features, I find that all three are more productive together. I do also have a Lenovo laptop that never leaves my house because it's massive, and I use that for more processor intensive activities. But for the most part, the Apple products working together take care of the vast majority of my needs.
Even the surface pro 3 can't fully replace your laptop...
For some of the hobby stuff, like making electronic music, I also need more CPU power than the iPad Air 2 currently offers, though I've started to slowly switch to dedicated music hardware (hardware synthesizers, drum machine, etc), .
You need more CPU power? The iPad Air 2 is as powerful as a 2014 MacBook Air! I have seen benchmarks were it actually beats the 2014 MacBook Air,
