Since smartphones started using a USB-C port for charging, I've found that smartphones (at least Android) seem to support USB mice and keyboards as well.  I've tested it out by plugging a USB hub into my phone and plugged a keyboard and mouse into it and I had a mouse pointer and was able to type with the keyboard.  I imagine a tablet could also double as a laptop if it's plugged into a USB dock, though I haven't seen any tablet manufacturers selling such a setup.

Microsoft's Surface tablet basiclaly did that, though that was an Intel device, whereas the ones I'm thinking of typically use ARM processors.
