SWMBO wants to downsize her PC to either a Laptop or a Tablet.

Now obviously both have their upside & downsides, so what we are looking
for is a review or comparison site that compares the two different
systems.

We can find plenty of sites that compare each with themselves, but not one
that compares Tablet v Laptop.

Anyone know of such a site?


As others have said they fullfill two different functions.

If it is truly just a downsizing exercise (you don't say what type of PC and
monitor) then a 'desktop replacement' laptop should do the trick.
Runs the same software, does the same job, takes up a lot less space.
There is less connectivity because of the smaller case, and extending the
capabilities is limited unless you add external devices and then you start
to lose the space saving.
I have used desktop replacement laptops on and off for over a decade both at
home and at work and I have had my currrent Dell XPS M1530 for over 3 years.
I do use an external mouse because I am too heavy handed for the mouse pad

Plenty of online discussion about laptop vs. tablet
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/buying-ad...which-is-best/
or

You have to decide which technology you want then start comparing within
that choice.
If you are asking what you seem to be asking then it is a bit like asking
for a site which compares motorbikes with cars.
Both have different strengths and weaknesses, loads of people own both for
different uses, and they are not directly comparable.

So do your analysis - what does SWMBO do on her PC at the moment, what
software does she use, is she reliant on any specialised software packages?
Then look if she can do all this well on a tablet.
If not, this solves your problem.
If yes, then look at where and how she would like to use it.
Tablet is easier on a chair or sofa, or in bed.
Laptop is easier at a table/desk.

So, to answer (finally) the original question.
No - I don't know of any site which compares individual laptops with
individual tablets.
