| Desktop FTW! I only have laptops/notebooks (don't like tablets) for portability which is rare these days. I rarely go out too and I like power and hardware flexibility especially when something dies/breaks! I also like to reuse old parts. |

| While I'm sure there are some powerful laptops out there I still have trouble believing most laptops could compete with a similarly loaded out desktop in price or performance. I you spend a lot of time traveling I could at least understand that but otherwise I don't see the sense in it. |

I don't get this so called PC decline. There is just so much you just cannot do on a pad or phone. A keyboard is still a very much required necessity for many things, especially in business and gaming.
Can't tell you how many people I have talked to that had their kid talk them into a pad for college and then soon after ended up getting a laptop too. You just cannot do papers on a pad at this time.
You still need a desktop for decent gaming, and a laptop for doing many things.
In articles like this PC = desktop, so laptops are considered a separate beast.
I mean, CES was full of laptops. Exploding with them. Far more than tablets. But CES had virtually no desktops. And the point of the article is that there were no PCs at CES.
Laptop != PC. |

The decline probably comes from the market that only needs to do casual stuff like browse the web which is what ipads and whatnot are great for. I don't think ipads and smartphones are replacing traditional PCs in settings where serious functionality is required. Maybe in very specialized industries like medical imaging I guess.
The other side of the coin is marketing. Owning a PC doesn't have that Windows 95 Rolling Stone cachet that it used to whereas an iPad is seen as a consumer desirable electronic device. |
