Phil Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Sometimes predicted trends never materialize because of the human factor. People just like desktops for whatever reason. I know lots of computer savvy people who just don't like laptops/netbooks/mobile devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I didn't even read that article to have to know how stupid it is. And no, I'm not going ball1stix on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirro Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah. That's why no one invests in stocks. -_- Investing money in the profit/loss of a company is not the same as an individual predicting something with no neg/pos action from the results. If one person could properly predict what stocks were going to be, everybody would make an appt to see him with everything they could scrounge up. you've never heard of someone losing it all? -sigh- reminds me of homer when he imagined what stock ownership was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Futurama when Planet Express was bought by Mom's Delivery Service and Fry was the co-owner with 50 percent shares and kept talking about integrity in the company, making the stocks lose value.

UkJenT Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 In some parts of the world, the desktop has become obsolete amongst the majority, such as in many asian countries, like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Most people in these countries use their mobile phones, mobile devices, notebooks, and smart phones to connect and surf the net and do basic things. Most people who do game go to gaming cafe shops and pay something like $1USD/hour to play a wide selection of PC games (Pretty much any game you can think of.).

El_Capitan Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 You guys are all looking at his comment in the wrong context. His ultimate mad plan is to get rid of all the desks in the world in 3 years, thus making desktops irrelevant! Bwa-hahahaha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ultimate mad plan is to get rid of all the desks in the world in 3 years, thus making desktops irrelevant! Bwa-hahahaha! ^ that is clearly impossible in my opinion.. Besides there will always be a need for desktops be it for games or for work.. There's no way a laptop fully replace a desktop..

There's no way a laptop fully replace a desktop.. I said Desks, not Desktops! If he gets rid of Desks... there can no longer be Desktops, thus making them irrelevant! They'd just be Tops. ~Sigh, my humor = fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_storm Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I could see desktops disappearing but not in 3 years maybe 10-15 years. Edited March 8, 2010 by fire_storm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I... agree with the Google guy! Let me hook my laptop to a 1080p (or above) screen wirelessly and that solves the monitor issue. Performance? Meh, in 3 years we'll have octocore laptops with plenty of graphics power and with stuff like NVIDIA's Optimus, battery life will still be good on the go. The desktop isn't going anywhere in just three years, but computer sales show that portable computers are the way of the future... desktop sales are constantly declining compared to notebooks. @People laughing at his claims: We'll see in a few years from now, but I'm sure he isn't far from the truth! Pretty much everyone I know has a laptop and lots of them do not have a desktop (or if they do it's just a crappy one taking up space) Agreed. 80% of the time my netbook is all I need.
