WTH? Lumbering desktops? I’ve got SSDs in my liquid-cooled desktop, and it runs circles around my iPad as far as FloPs (Floating Point Operations) and disk write operations go.

That’s not to say that the new devices aren’t going to catch up, but I’d still rather play Minecraft on my gaming desktop than my iPad.

So what might the new consoles coming do FOR you,.....any hope and all that they might get some business from you?

Liquid cooled desktops are like cocaine — life’s way of telling you that you have too much money and too much free time.

I would hope so. However, I would imagine that the iPad would be a tad more portable, if you want to play (read, surf, whatever) while not at your desk.

That's always been the trade-off -- raw power vs. portability.
