I will never get rid of my desktop, I just can’t see myself doing everything on a laptop, let alone a tablet.

I think it’s ridiculous to say nobody will use desktop PCs in 10 years just because of new competition.

Laptops and tablets are great for certain things, but for my personal use I will always stick with a desktop.

I feel the exact same way, but I think it's generational..may I ask your age?)I'm 65..can still remember the excitement when our offices got our first IBM PCs..and the dot-matrix printer that weighed about 10 lbs..

Those younger than I..raise on cell phones, PlayStation, etc..think/feel/act much different

Hard drive went out on our desk top three days ago. Two days ago we got new desk top with hard drive twice as large and lots of new and better features. Only difference is operating system. Windows 8. Takes a little getting used to, but no big deal.

Have lap tops, but desk top is the best when at home.

The idea that a smartphone will ever replace a real workspace is ridiculous.

Agreed. The User Interface has to improve a lot before this will happen. Touch screen keyboards and auto complete are awful IMO.

The only reason they exist is because you can’t stuff a laptop in your coat pocket and you are willing to suffer with the UI on a small display because it is ultra-portable.

You don’t need that kind of portability in the home or at work.
