That's the point. The so-called "post-PC era" has never arrived. Personally I don't know any adult who doesn't own a computer. We no longer upgrade so often but we use them on a daily basis. Pretty much anyone doing any kind of white-collar work will use a PC (that includes Macs...) Your needs outside of the work environment will vary, but people are still not throwing their laptops away just because they use their phones more often.
- oblio 8y agoThe question is: do new adults (think 18-24 year olds) buy desktops or laptops?
- apetresc 8y agoAt least one, yes? There's no university student without one, and there's no white-collar worker without one. Literally nobody is typing up their 10-page essay on their phone.
- oblio 8y agoTablets + keyboards.
- michaelmrose 8y agoTablets remain truly mediocre devices, in the case of Android running a mediocre os. - garbage multi tasking - slightly laggy typing - no real ability for multiple apps to work on the same data -10" is still a tiny screen and almost as unwieldy as a small laptop 7" is too tiny yet still not pocket size. Since a tablet usually does not have by definition a cellular modem it can't replace your phone plus the cameras and microphone normally blow. I find the idea that most people are using a tablet in place of a real computer laughable.
- gsich 8y agoif gaming is an issue: desktop. Laptop in the other case. Or both, you can get cheap laptops for 300€ which will work just fine because of the reasons in the parent.

- georgebarnett 8y agoPerhaps the post PC era did not arrive in your immediate bubble, however I assure you it happened. There are whole parts of non first world societies where laptops are not a thing and everything is done on phones and tablets.
