I'm not so sure. If you took a drink every time you read "sorry for the short answer, I'm on mobile, I will edit it when I'm back on a real computer" on HN or reddit, your liver would die faster than Windows Phone. There's still a place for devices with lots of screen space and real input devices, and not just in the IT community (unlike with command line interfaces).

Coupled with virtualization and a good keyboard, I think the PC form factor could be fully obviated.

- creshal 10y agoEven if they were (2D rendering isn't that bad), we'd struggle to transmit it (neither HDMI nor DisplayPort could handle 16K or whatever we need for crisp enough VR rendering).
