Well, heck, if you’re using an MBA, that should be fine for all the
crazy stuff you want to do. :)
Why replace parts? Seriously. Just buy the best machine you can. My MBP
with Retina has 16 GB of RAM & a 512 GB SSD. I’m getting a new one in 2
yrs since I lease, & it’s covered by a warranty the entire time. Why do
I care about replaceable parts?
As for the iPad, you don’t need a keyboard. I’ve learned to type on it &
do pretty darn well. That said, I can understand why some might like a
keyboard, but on a plane, you wouldn’t need one.
The other stuff you mentioned is specialized & the iPad cannot do it, as
you know.
I’d still say, for 90% of users, the iPad is all the computer they need.

FWIW, the 13" MacBook Air that I'm using is much closer, probably 95%.
Admittedly, I'm still missing some nice features of my netbook:
replaceable parts (especially, battery, RAM, and HDD), attractive
price, and a 10" form-factor.

ok. Sell me on it. I currently view the iPads as a 80% solution: I
can read/write e-mails, browse the web, make calls, etc. The other
20% involves running VMs, copying data to/from USB sticks, and related
server stuff. Plus using it in a plane, i.e. non-bluetooth keyboard.
