It's up to you, but I think working on a laptop(with a mouse next to it) is more comfy, than typing on a touchscreen(I have a touchscreen mobile, and I still make a lot of mistakes while typing.). If I'd ever buy a tablet, I would make sure it has a keyboard dock, and supports mouse, which basically equals a laptop+touch screen. And touchscreen is a really cool feature, not necessarily usable though if you aren't a graphical artist.
So if you need it for work only, in my opinion a laptop is finer, as it has more features, usb ports and so on. Also some of them are able to handle UTP(lan) cables, just in case you don't have wireless internet access at your workplace.
