RE: I use a PC for graphic design.

Yep. The small, portable computers have been with us for over a decade ( Tablets are small computers by any other name ).

I still do all significant work on a computer with a HUGE screen.

My tablet has a HDMI output port—I attach it to my 70” big screen. Slightly bigger than most computer monitors.

The next invention I want to see is a HDMI, 1080i-capable wireless video/audio connection to attach to the big screen TVs. The HDMI cord I have can be a PITA when trying to get comfy on the couch!

The thing is the tablet is becoming capable of running those big screens and full keyboards. Just plug them in when needed.

Yup, Screen size is the primary issue for me to use the PC for graphic work. In fact I often use the TV as a monitor for photo post processing to get a more accurate idea of how they look blown up to poster size.

I bet I’ve worn out 10 keyboards in the ten years I’ve been using this computer. The PC is kind of like a low tech hotrod that I can work on and upgrade as needed.

At my place of employment there are PCs and full sized screens everywhere. We use them to monitor and troubleshoot the programmable controllers and electric drives that control the machinery. Smaller screens just wouldn’t cut it.
