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

I’m in my 20s, I grew up with all that stuff and I still don’t want to give up my desktop.

I have an Android smartphone, I like it and all, but it’s NEVER going to compete with my desktop PC.

My laptop is broken, the hinges on the screen are barely attached, so that really hasn’t convinced me of its superiority.

I can’t afford a tablet, nor really desire one. Most people I know that have them are just Apple fanatics who buy the “next big thing”. I’m more frugal with my limited income.
