I think by "highly specialist needs" you mean creating content rather than just consuming it.

- richardknop 8y agoExactly, basically every office worker in service economy who needs to use Excel/Word/Powerpoint or any application like that will be using a desktop computer decade from now. People saying mobile phones or tables are going to take over this segment of market are missing how difficult it is to create content on mobile phone other than pictures or short videos.
- BerislavLopac 8y agoI'm not saying that tablets will take over this segment -- I'm saying that this segment will be replaced by automating data processes.

The pure Android solutions are more DIY but really, slap a keyboard onto a tablet and you've got something perfectly servicable for Word or Excel, at a higher performance/$ and a smaller attack surface than currently deployed desktops.
- BerislavLopac 8y agoNo, I mean "creating highly specialist content". Many types of content can already be -- and in many cases is -- quite validly created on devices like iPad Pro: photography, drawings, graphical design, and above all writing. And the tools are still being improved.
