The kitchen is the only use case I can see working. A netbook/laptop is far more usable in bed than a tablet would be.

The bottom bit of a laptop isn't just there for the keyboard, it's there to hold the display at a nice viewing angle. So you'd need some extra device for that as well.
I'd rather hold the screen with my hand. I hate the way my laptop jiggles around every time I shift my weight when I'm sitting on the couch. Plus, when I'm reading in bed I like to turn from my back to one side to the other side. A laptop kind of pins you into one position. Not really, of course, but it makes you want to stay perfectly still even when you start to get uncomfortable.

Maybe it'd take off, who knows...
