Everyone claims that the PC market is dying. I don't fully understand. I get that you could theoretically use Android, iOS or any other mobile OS full-time, and I would consider using one like that maybe one day. But for now, the world cannot run without PCs. Sure, car sales may decline, but they won't ever cease unless a pure replacement comes along.
The whole "PCs are dying" seems like propaganda from people with stakes in companies that focus on mobile.

- rorrr2 13y agoMany people didn't need a PC, but didn't have an alternative (tablet, smartphone). The market is being corrected. PCs are not dying. I can't imagine any my coworkers doing their work on a tablet, except maybe executives who basically do email, spreadsheets and lame powerpoint presentations all day long.

- stephengillie 13y agoThe gaming PC I built in 2008 still handles brand-new games without any problem or slowdown. Almost everyone is in the same situation. The market isn't dying because people aren't using PCs anymore, it's dying because upgrades have become unnecessary.
