It's pretty obvious they like the form factor, otherwise "mini laptop" would not have been mentioned explicitly.
...and I get it. I used to have an old Compaq Evo N200 ultraportable which was about the size of an iPad. It was awesome. Way too slow for modern web use, though.
Yeah cause it's not like there's a thousand tablets out there that you can pick up that are the exact same form factor.
Some people like their screen and keyboard being attached to each other.
