Not in all contexts, and not with the same functionality.

There are still plenty of places where I might want to use my laptop 
that don't have open network access.

My laptop is an _open_ device, capable of running a much wider universe 
of software.  Include virtualization, and you've got the Linux and Win 
apps in there as well.  And it has a full hardware keyboard and much 
larger screen.  Also, it has access to hardware extensions, and much, 
much more local storage.
