This feels right to me on the hardware front, especially about laptops and desktops.
Their basic form hasn't even remotely changed over the past 30 years. There have been improvements – smaller, lighter, more powerful. There have been tweaks – convertible laptops, for example, but those haven't really stuck nor displaced the standard laptop. We are approximately, what, 40 years since the first thing that resembles a modern laptop, and it's fundamentally the same form factor.
Even phones have grown in capabilities much more than they have changed in form factors.
I wish we were closer to the 'next big thing', but I'd put bets on things staying largely the same. VR/AR, either via a headset, glasses, or contacts seem like the safest bet, but in no way a given.
