Dell is also taking a beating ....

The iPad revolutionized the market, and some of the newer Android tablets are giving it some stiff competition. A great deal of what Laptops are used for, simply can be done “better” on a tablet.

Plus, we have the other little factoid to consider. Decades ago, hardware technology jumped forward at a pace that made it necessary to upgrade your PC every couple of years. Lately, for the past ~8 yrs or so; the rate of improvement in the hardware area has been lackluster - you can get by with a 2006 era desktop/laptop just fine today.
