Post PC ? Why not, but...

I see nothing that intrinsically prevents tablet hardware from replacing PC hardware for most use cases in the future.

However, as long as the software that is installed on it turns it into an expensive toy for content consumption, that is unlikely to happen.

Most tablet limitations which I see mentioned here and there are software-related, not hardware-related. Just like desktop OSs before, cellphone and tablet OSs need to grow up. Only this time, it's in the opposite direction : not from utterly arcane to usable by everyone, but from brain dead and artificially limited to compatible with the full breadth of modern computer use cases.
