I dont get this article. Seems to be nothing but hearsay and opinion with no references to facts.
Also point of author just seems nonsensical to me. I have a big-ass powerful pc and I love it! Use it for gaming, game development, 3d modelling, music making. I built it myself from components, set up OS and software exactly the way I want with win7 and Crunchbang (linux). No other device would be able to do exactly what I want like this.
Maybe most people dont want that but most people have never been technically minded, if theyre happier with tablets then thats fine.
Just want to validate this... I feel the same way. PCs are faster than they've ever been and cheaper than they've ever been. I just bought a custom smoking fast computer for my parents in an awesome tiny mini-ITX case with a fast SSD drive and an awesome i5 Ivy processor (I think 3570k?). Including monitor it was < $1000. I priced out even cheaper PCs with cheaper, larger cases for $300. I also have a big-ass powerful PC and I love it.
