"Few people own desktop computers anymore." I will own a desktop computer until the day I die. Excellent post too.

  I mean - desktop processor sales an insanely strong, AMD can't make enough. Gamers will buy every RTX3xxx card that hits the shelf and every heavy duty programmer I know has at least a fast desktop and often server racks. I don't think we need to worry about the future of the desktop just yet.

    What is a heavy duty programmer?
    • war1025 6y ago
      Someone with an expensive desktop and possibly even server racks.

  I was hired in at a company a couple years ago. My soon-to-be manager asked, "What should I order you for a computer?" I responded with, "Whatever you guys buy - Dell, Lenovo. A 14" laptop and an external monitor would be fine." He torted, "I've never seen anyone be productive on a laptop. Nobody here uses laptops. I'll get you a desktop with 2 monitors." After I started, I notice he did almost all of his work from a conference room, using a Surface Book remoted into a desktop in his office.

    Side note: In an open office, people quickly learn to cheat and claim unused spaces like conference rooms for working undisturbed.
