PC death is still here--at least of a fashion: it's a mature market, and people aren't replacing them on short timescales anymore. Instead of 1-3 years, replacement timescales became 3-5 years, and at this point it's probably 5-7 years. Desktops have largely been supplanted by laptops, and the new hotness is in the phone and tablet space.

Laptops are still being replaced every ~3 years, from what I've seen. The difference is that a lot of those frequent upgraders are Mac users, and all the new Mac laptops use SSDs.
