To me, the question isn't whether it'll replace desktops and laptops, but whether it'll replace paper. I'm not interested in an iPad as a laptop replacement, let alone a desktop replacement. I'm interested in whether I can carry one around instead of various notebooks, magazines, textbooks and so on.
Touch-based is an important consideration. I find it impossible to use a laptop when standing up, e.g. on the train. I can, however, write in a notebook, read a book or what-have-you.
- jnoller 17y agoI hadn't thought of it as a replacement to paper - that's actually pretty interesting a concept. Have you seen the show Caprica on Sci-Fi? They actually use thin sheets of "something" (looks like paper) as a computer - so maybe your thought is more apt than my idea of drawing the laptop-to-tablet idea.
