Much of the world is moving away from desktop/laptop computers.

The most used computer OS in Africa, India, & Asia is: Android.

Add a bluetooth keyboard and a pad is suitable for 90% of people’s computing needs.

A decade ago, desktop computers were still common. They are now all but dead (save for backend server use)—replaced by laptops.

A decade from now the laptop will be dead. Replaced by pads with keyboards.

Laptops have already been removing functionality (drives, ports) and becoming thinner and smaller. How long will people continue to purchase both a laptop and a pad? Eventually, it will make sense to just put all the money into a larger, more powerful pad that’s can double as a desktop with a few accessories.

“Much of the world is moving away from desktop/laptop computers.”

I’ve had a couple of tablets, and they are OK but I prefer a bigger screen and also not being joined at the hip with either Google or Apple.

I do cybersecurity for a large military organization. 56,000 devices. Mostly Windows desktops and laptops. Those are the real business hardware. There is a separate support structure for mobile devices with Android and iOS.
