As far as the standardized uses of the tablets are concerned, it genuinely holds an edge over a laptop in the long term.
Customization

General Use
In general use like Gaming, Music, E-Reading, tablets are giving tough competition to the laptops. However, with technology advancing rapidly, chances are there that Tablets may replace the laptops on this ground. However, with higher graphics, more space and stronger application, Laptop should always give better user experience than Tablet even in this field.

Coding, Video Editing, Photo Editing and others are few of the core areas of the use where Tablet can’t really give a competition to the laptops. The increased storage and large applications are the requirements of the extensive use and tablets may fail to deliver that user experience at the current situation. However, Tablets are also getting better with each passing day and the manufacturers may also consider updating the same in coming days.
Price
Tablets are cheaper than Laptops and that can be one of the advantages that Tablets get. The higher portability can be effective as well.

It has already gained huge market share and threatening the laptop business but in the extensive scenario, the threat is not so serious at this moment. However, there is no doubt that Tablets can eat up lion market share of the laptops in near future.
