I've found it very easy to tether a iPhone to an Macbook. Other than that I don't think there is any really benefit.

If you're putting out business docs and spreadsheets you better spring for the MacBook. They are designed to work seamlessly with iPhones through iTunes and other OSX software. I'd get an iPad Mini (or perhaps Nexus 7) to complement or substitute for the laptop though. On short leisure trips a 3G/LTE tablet may be all the big screen you need and can also serve as a GPS navigator.
