You keep making the same mistakes as the others who offer very outdated links to articles and predictions that have not come true.

Sure, the PC market is somewhat saturated, with over 1 1/2 established and working PCs, but there is a huge difference between PCs and the mobile market. PCs have a normal refresh cycle of about 1/3 of the market, which means that, there will be over 300 million PCs sold on a yearly basis.

The predictions for a slowing PC market are true, but then, most of those predictions have been off the mark, and PCs will continue to sell in the hundreds of millions per year.

Smartphones are basically the replacements for the old landline phones, and as such, there will always be hundreds of millions sold on a yearly basis, but, for the most part, they’re not really useful for computing purposes or for internet usage without needing constant upsizing of the content on those tiny screens.

The PC is dead, but not really. The predictions have been quite incorrect for the last few years.

Okay show me your 3 month prediction from a respectable firm???

The PC market is “somewhat saturated”??? LOL! That is the understatement of the year.

I guess you do not own a smart phone. If you had one, then you would know what you just said is not the case. Smart Phones are basically a portable computer. Oh... and a phone too.
