The desktop will never die, but it is certainly becoming more of a niche product.

How much of that is because desktops are easily upgradable and last longer. Finally talked the wife into ditching her machine for a new one after 8 years, and I’d owned that one for 3 years before that. It had been upgraded a few times. My current machine is 5 years old, 2 waves of upgrades, not planning on replacing any time soon.

I think that may be because desktops work pretty well and last a long time. Tablets are new, and are mostly first time buyers.

Desktops are more like servers/backup storage now.
