Hardly. I have a high-end workstation plus a gaming rig at home and I still regularly use my iPad around the house. I keep my machines in my office and the iPad is on the table in the living room. If I want to check e-mail, read news or other social activities I'll pick up my iPad. Why would I want to get up (while watching a movie or the hockey game) and go to my office for some trivial tasks?
And no, I'm not putting my computers in my living room. I'm very picky about noise, and though my rigs are reasonably quiet they're still noticeable when running. And I like my office where it's quiet (and private) when I actually have work to do so I'm not distracted by working in the living room.
I also use my iPad in the morning before going to work checking e-mails and my schedule for the day. Easy way to get a jump on my day while eating breakfast. Far more convenient than going to my office to fire up a rig to spend a measly 5-10 minutes planning my day.
