Well, your friend got that right but why didn't you get that before?
When I bought my Xoom tablet, I had in mind two things:
a. it would do a great remote control device for a headless and home-made music player (plugged to a decent sound-system),
b. I need to rest.
While a. was definitely the fun factor for me, b. was a way for me to stop bringing work home so easily. With a tablet, you can consume most of the stuff you would with a laptop but as you can't produce, you're not tempted to start working on cool-new-interesting-project-2315.
Mixed results so far as I still often bring my laptop home from work. Also, a. didn't go that far (because of b. ? [1]).

[1] Ah well, contradictions.
