I think people are really underestimating where things like perception computing are going. Something Intel is also invested in. But maybe people start looking at which jobs require using a computer to get essential work done vs. not needing one and therefore not using it. If people really think that entire generations of people are not going to need computers to do work are seriously mistaken, especially in BRIC/developing countries. I don't think the question really is are PC dying, the question should what the hell can I do with the ~$1000 machine other than look at cat pictures. We can thank Microsoft mostly for that. Seriously I think people really underestimate how turned off the entire industry is from Windows 8, especially when they need to upgrade the only reasonable choice is Apple. Remember Apple is the only company that is actually increasing sales to laptops(MBA models). Clearly there is a market it's just not being served by current parties.
