I’m not saying it won’t work well for the segment for which it’s designed, but it will not be a universal player in the market.
I’m constantly chuckling at the dolts in the IT industry touting the next tablet or smartphone as a “PC killer.” The PC isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s as ubiquitous as a television or a car. It’s designed a certain way to do a certain thing, and until they can figure out how to cram multiple video GPUs, SSDs, and liquid cooling into a laptop for hardcore gamers, the PC will continue to rule for that particular market.
I think you’re correct, for the time being, in regards to hardcore gamers. That’s no different than gearheads and cars.
The average person, who buys a standard car, is generally well served with any standard model. But the gearheads, who want to push the limits on their vehicles are the ones that need 700 hp.
That’s not who the computer ecological environment is being designed for.
I look as Win 8 as the true potential PC killer.
and not in a good way.
