Those devices only take you so far. They are consuming devices only, similar to a television. People still have and use normal PCs and will do so in the future.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThat's kinda my point though. The strawman user these kinds of arguments prop up as the reason everything needs to suck is pretty much 100% consumer. There might be a few things, like typing documents and printing that aren't entirely covered by smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, but that's a rapidly shrinking set of things.

- gsich 8y ago>but that's a rapidly shrinking set of things Doubt that. "Desktop" is defined by mouse, keyboard and display. A chromebook satisfies this. I have yet to meet a user who uses a smartphone instead of a PC to do stuff that are notably easier to do on a PC. (while having both) I would also bet that every user would chose a keyboard over a touch interface to type text.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoMaybe you have a point, but I don't feel like connecting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to a smartphone makes it a desktop. Regardless, I don't think those OSs are good desktop OSs either. I still maintain that this is a poor excuse for having shitty tools.
- lev99 8y agoUsing keyboard/mouse/monitor with smartphones is very uncommon.
