Coming soon to a desktop near you , Android For PC

"Desktops don't sell anymore, we are a dieing breed of computer users."I think desktops will be around for a good while yet. The gamer market is pretty big, and gamers like Wintel-type desktops, if only so they can upgrade and generally mess with the hardware, which you can't really do with a laptop. I can see the domestic consumer stores abandoning them in favour of laptops, iPads and so on, if only because they take up less real estate on the shelves, but the more specialised and build-to-spec suppliers should continue to do OK selling them for the foreseeable future.

I read that in the future we won't have desktops, all we'll have is our smart phones which we'll plug into monitors.Sounds too dystopian for me.. I hate typing on my iPhone.

I agree with this statement. Consider when Microsoft was selling Windows 3.1 the ratio of Desktop to laptop would have been around 10:1. Today the ratio is completely turned around.Their will always be a demand for a desktop however the PC gamer is in smaller numbers compared to Console users. We are now very much a niche market, and that is OK with me.Cheers
