Desktops and laptops in current form-factors have been around for more than 10 years. Both of them have been gaining speed and features, but the basics haven't changed much: laptops have always had 80% of speed at 120% of the cost. I don't see anything new, that hasn't been around 10-15 years ago, that will push desktops out. I use both, for various reasons. It hurts to watch laptops users trying to get something done without a real mouse with applications not designed with keyboard navigation in mind. It's like watching stop-n-go traffic. Unless, of course, that laptop happened to be a ThinkPad with it's gorgeous "UltraNav". This is why I love vim: I am equally productive with it regardless of the machine I happened to run it on. So WHY do you think desktops will disappear? What is it, that current crop of laptops offer that I couldn't get in 1998?
