Over the past few years, technology pundits have been decrying desktop PCs as dead or dying. Its certainly true that due to the recent bad economy, along with greatly reduced laptop prices, desktop PC sales have dramatically dwindled. As a result the writing is on the wall for the desktop PC that it will soon be nothing more than a fading memory.
This ideology is complete and utter nonsense, and the tech pundits should be ashamed of themselves for being proponents of it.
In many aspects of business, and even consumer usage, the desktop is unnecessary. You dont need a desktop for email, documents, spreadsheets. Programmers usually dont need a desktop for their work. Most mundane tasks can be handled with a laptop, a netbook, and even a smartphone in some cases.
