Yet another "PC is dying" article. Booooooring!!!
The reality is that market is saturated, and there was practically zero innovation for the past 5 years (except ultrabooks and SSDs). But as a working tool PCs are not going anywhere.
I want laptop with 4:3 high resolution PVA screen and replaceable battery.
- kllrnohj 13y agoThe reality is that most people don't want a "full" PC. The PC certainly isn't going anywhere - desktops and laptops are here to stay for the foreseeable future. However, it's not a growing market. And that's perfectly OK.
- ajcarpy2005 13y agoEven if the laptop & desktop PC markets are not growing as fast as in past years...it still is a very large market. There is far less incentive for most people to buy newer or higher-end hardware for the PC than smartphones. Mobile devices (tablets, smartphones...and even chromebooks or lightweight notebooks) are competing against the sales of higher-end laptops or desktops. I think there may be a resurgence of laptop sales (and desktop sales) after a few more years of intense innovation.
- swombat 13y agoWhy do you need a replaceable battery? 12 hours is really not enough for you?
- altero 13y agoTask which use CPU a lot eats battery much faster.
- swombat 13y agoGranted, but do you plan to carry half a dozen batteries with you to compensate for that, or just find somewhere to plug in?

- altero 13y agoNo, I usually have 3 batteries. Plug-in is not always possible (airplane, train) or convenient (client office, restaurant). Sometimes I do not carry an adapter.
