Comment on Weak PC Market Catches Up to Microsoftparent

Comments

You could argue that the Desktop PC has evolved - it is now the Tablet. Perhaps it is more correct to say it is more a branching that has occurred.

Yes, it's more like a branch.

I have both a powerful desktop and a powerful tablet.

From my point of view, they are quite distinct and every single time I sit down to consume or create, I will choose my desktop if I am at home. If I am on the road, I will select my tablet. The reason is simple: my desktop has massive displays.

If my desktop had a regular "HD" style monitor, the difference between the two would come down to less dramatic matters such as "my desktop renders twitter.com a little faster" or "I like typing on my desktop more." Taking away large monitors from the desktop leaves a lot more room to speak of the tablet's unique upsides.
