If we can use a smartphone as a PC then we don’t need a PC anymore, do we?

No PC, but spend lots of $$ on docking stations, monitors and a custom mouse ;)

No, but if you’re going to rudely play games or surf while at dinner with someone, it’s more awesome if you slap a whole PC on the table and block yourself off from people.

Well, if you don’t need to do anything that requires more memory or processing power than a smartphone has, you might be able to get away with that.

I still prefer to use the mouse and the bigger screen for development and office work.

Say what you will, but I will probably *never* get used to using a soft-keyboard on a mobile device.

The vast collection of websites with people screwing-up messages (AutoCorrect, Windows devices notwithstanding) bears me out.

Also, it just doesn’t feel right, what with the lack of physical keys, &c.

Depends on what we're trying to do, doesn't it? Some things we do require a full-power processor and terabytes of storage.
