Are desktops dead?

yes

See iPad Pro

Probably will become more of a novelty than it already is over the next few years.

>>56298551
Not even close. Maybe for the average person.

No, they're just too busy working on kids toys called "tablets"

>>56298551

For the average consumer yes. Most people turn to phones or tablets for their day to day shit. Nobody is buying a desktop to browse the internet or read their email anymore. There's still enough of a market to sustain them though. Desktops probably aren't going to go away in the office any time soon and the gaming market is always going to be big money.

Its all about mobile devices and cloud based software these days.

The biggest reasons desktops are alive are businesses, and gaming. Until there are better alternatives than desktops for these, they won't die.

nice mouse you have there, nice video editor you have there, nice apache server you have there, nice multitasking functions you have there.

keep playing crossy road.

>>56298551
No, the enthusiast market is just fine. Nobody cares about normie dell/gateway box shit.

>>56298551
maybe

>>56300131
I can't deal with it.

I never do any cloud shit its just weird to me.

When I installed Windows 10 it automatically put all my music in my SkyOne or whatever and it scared the shit out of me. How did it move stuff from my external archive (that just happened to be plugged in) into the cloud? Deleted that crap and installed Linux. I've never felt so violated.

>cloud
as much as you love this buzzword, it means "someone else's x86 computers"

>>56300761
everybody already knows that

it's easier to say "cloud" that it is to say "my stuff is stored on a server"

Probably not until they start embedding computers into people.

For some people a Z-80 would be an upgrade.

>>56298551
For the average casual user, yes
They're happy using tablets and iPhones, so leave them to it.

The people who stop using desktops weren't never a large part of the desktop user share to begin with. Gaming/Server/Work will always keep desktops alive.

>>56300864
What is this?

>They're happy using tablets

Not really, no.
Mouse+keyboard+big screen > tablet, even for average casuals.

Tablets are objectively inferior at everything except portability.

Come back when it has games. Or VR. Or 4K. Or network capabilities.

It's the shitty intel "skull canyon" micro PC.
They put a fuckin i7 with Iris Pro inside. The thing runs so hot you can fry hamburgers on it.
And no user serviceable parts.

Of course who needs a desktop when you can wield the magic of an apple product

>>56305130
Tablets are for faggots who pretend to do work or work at a pace where they must have rich parents because how else could one work so slowly and survive

>That mesh

Even at companies it's mostly laptops anymore. They can be carried between meetings and checked out to take home for extra work.

For consumers, it's all just phones and maybe a tablet. I've seen people do college courses on their phones.

Unless someone needs a GPU for something, they probably don't have a desktop.

Totally man, I just plug my droid 3 into my monitor and I'm all fuckin set

>>56305894

Every single desk in my company has a desktop with at least 2 monitors. Laptops are for FAGS.

>>56306050
We had laptops with docking stations and 2 screens.
Being able to take them to meetings and home was quite useful, though you could also remote into your work machine.
