Pros :
-Much more portable than a laptop (a 7-8" tablet fits in a small bag while you need a backpack for a laptop).
-More powerful and potentially cheaper than a netbook. Heck, you're comparing an Intel Atom to a Quad Core tablet with an awesome GPU. Plus, netbooks are now over €400 while in the beginning they were €200-300 (the Nexus 7 is $229 for the 16 GB model).
-Bigger screen and battery than smartphones. That's pretty much the only thing since the hardware is essentially the same.
Cons :
-If you already have a netbook/laptop, it's effectively not really necessary.
-Calculators are about 20% cooler.
-Not enough USB ports.
