The 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.
