I lump together "PCs are doomed" in the same category as "Apple is doomed". Both are not even remotely true.

  PCs aren’t doomed no more than Android devices. They are just both a low margin commoditized product that compete on price.

    Being a low margin business does not equate to no one cares about PC business any more.

      From a business standpoint, IBM abandoned it years ago and HP has gone back and forth between whether it wants to keep their PC unit for years. Almost all of Apple’s former competitors are either dead or worth nothing. From a business standpoint, Apple’s strategy seemed to have been the right one. Apple probably makes more on computer sells than any one else and they only make up 10% of Apple’s revenue. So HN posters can complain about Apple’s strategy until the cows come home, but the market has decided it was the right one.
