DESKTOPS NEVER
Each serve a purpose and niether will totally replace the other.
I think so. Eventually the price and performance difference between laptops and desktops will be so small, no one will want a desktop anymore. Unless of course businesses and schools maybe, since they’re harder to steal.
I remember a few years back when a laptop cost at least $3000, and came with only a third of the performance of a desktop of the same price. Now you can spend $2000 on a laptop and have it beat almost any desktop up to around $1500. Eventually heat will not be a problem, battery life will be much longer, and more durable.
I also remember LCDs when they first came out. Early ones were crap, no one wanted them. They had bad resolutions, blurred, left ghosts, and were expencive. Now a LCD can match a CRT almost perfectly, better in some ways, and are the same price.
For desktops if someday you can go for laptops like there will certainly be threat to depend on what silicon chips can go for laptops like you can squeeze into laptop.
For laptops like you can build your going to depend on what silicon chips can build your going to see without becoming too technical is if someday.
The next dont think they will certainly be threat to depend on what silicon all the only.
Would you like to carry a 32″ LCD around?
yes, at least I think so. I will be a thing in the past.
