Laptops will get phased out, in favor of inexpensive, lightweight input/display clamshells.
This is a pipe dream until we either get a better input device than the keyboard (speech?) or we no longer need to move text from our brains to our computers. Until then, people need keyboards, which means that tablets won't overtake laptops. Just my .02. Hope Apple has something revolutionary enough up their sleeve to prove me wrong.
