The post-PC era sure was looking like a big deal in 2009-2010 but now its clear that mobile has over-saturated the market and old fashioned laptops and desktops weren't actually being replaced, people just stopped buying replacements as frequently. Are we post-PC? If so, I'm not seeing it.
In fact, Q2 2016 PC sales are slightly up and ipad sales down in a bizarre turnaround. The year-over-year decline is still there, but mostly because a 5-6 year old desktop or laptop is perfectly usable still, while a 2-3 year old phone or tablet is ready for the garbage heap.
