The idea to write long paper works and documents on a tablet or do image manipulation on a notebook, still gives me the shiver.

And for simmers and many gamers, the PC still is an indispensable platform still. You can run Assetto Corsa with a wheel via console (soon), okay. But try that with P3D.

And having a look at the games in Google Appstore, is quite disillusionisng also. Kindergarten stuff for the most.

Then there are many games still that are not easdily to be co9ntrolled wiotho0ut keyboard and mouse, just with a gamepad. Gamepoads are nice fior NHL and the like. For 1^st person nshooters they asr4e imo terrible. Driving a race sim with them is not only unrealistic, but also kills immersion.

The audience for PC desktop systems may become more elitist, specialised, smaller - but they will continue to create a sufficient amount of demand for the industry to continue for the forseeable future. Saying that as somebody who has a desktop PC, maintains three laptops for myself and others, and two tablets.
