not really. a pencil can be used for a wide variety of things,
including drawing, taking notes and much more. there are even
handwriting recognition apps.

it's a feature that a laptop/desktop does not have.

it's camera is nowhere near as capable nor can you easily move it
around.

iphones have a triple lens camera, from ultra-wide to telephoto, and
the next ipad pros are rumoured to have the same setup.

exactly the point.

you want a 27" display which is not portable. 

others prefer a laptop that is portable, or an ipad or iphone that runs
a different operating system and even more portable than a laptop.

all of them are computers.

ipads (or even laptops) easily fit in many jacket pockets, but if you
don't mind looking like a dork, you can put it in a trouser pocket:
