    Are we buying more or less?
    « on: August 25, 2008, 12:03:02 PM »
    [My beautiful girlfriend claims  that the personal computer AKA PC Will soon be a thing of the past. And she says younger people And humans overseas are going to smaller sized Computers like those on cell phones.She also claims that computers are not selling  now days because of the economy. This sparked a heated debate between us.  I say computer sales should be on the rise because more people are staying home due to the high gas prices & bad economy.What to you think? /b]

      I'm not sure i agree with either of your arguements but i have to agree with your g/f the PC is getting smaller and smaller, although there is a gap between fully featured PC and handheld computers.  In a few years there will be no gap and instead fully functioning (unless they have MS windows... lol) PC's will be handheld.  IMHO

        I like my bulky box, I don't want a big *censored* table Microsoft! I want a big *censored* case with plenty of raids to hold more hard drives.

        I don't like small laptops.....In my experience, they have bad cooling, too small of a keyboard, lack of ports and too small of a screen.
        However, it is true people are starting to go for smaller devices because of their portability.

        PC sales are actually pretty healthy right now and have been for 2 years or so...
        What's her source ? ?
