What will be the next trend in technology in 2017?

Tablets with a bunch of dongles. The only market it won't completely skyrocket in is the enterprise and professional sector.

Laptop will be paper-thin.

Whatever Apple decides to push forward.

tablets you fucking monglet

everybodys happy then, /mkg/ gets to choose their own keyboard on the run, manufacturers can jew the user for a keyboard, devices become smaller and batteries in the keyboard become a thing, the CPU is behind the screen (iDesign), shits soldered and glued so it generates more profit and fucks you over, touchfags can touch

We already have the next generation. These funny laptop-tablets that had a touch screen and a detachable keyboard.
But yeah, big tablets like the iPad are the tendency

2017 will be the begining of the moding comunity reusing old laptops and remplacing the internals with modern ones.
They will base it on the mini-ITX thin bersion and then the motherboard manufacturer will upgrade it with a mini-ITX no ports version
In this year /g/ will have a new suboard /mlg/ "moding laptos general" and the /tpg/ will disapear becasue lenovo sucks balls
Also the most moded laptop will be old Apple macbooks, people will start printing 3d parts for it and aliexpress will deliver components.

simple terminals without internal storage connected 24/7 to the botnet cloud

no ports, not even to charge

you will need to buy seperate charging dock that charges wirelessly and only has 2 ports

this is the trend we will go for in the truly wireless future.

wires will be treated like a conservative: Racist and Sexist.

we will continue to remove basic features because its "Courageous"

Actually this. Smartphones are more than powerful enough for the average normie. Hook it up to your Andromium Superbook, or whatever they come up with for desktops. Android for everything, plus iOS I guess if they decide to keep up.

This.
They've already experimented with the idea for some time now, by combining phones with bigger screens to turn them into tablets.
Give pic related a 24" monitor + keyboard and mouse combo and you're basically done.
After all, phones nowadays are capable of doing 100% of the things that the average user needs.

They already tried this and it failed miserably.

>>58261617

Now we're at a point where phones are powerful enough to pull it off without any problems.
I don't know when they tried this or what company was responsible, but the reasons why it failed, were most likely either phones being too weak or they fucked something up regarding marketing or design.
Because there's zero reason for this not to work at the moment or in the future.

If your phone can stream high quality movies from whatever service without a problem and if it's able to browse the internet without lagging, then it only comes down to nailing the marketing.
If Apple experimented with the idea, you can bet that we'd see it become a standard in a year.

>Now we're at a point where phones are powerful enough to pull it off without any problems
But we aren't.
They could drive the display and run applications, sure, but even the best SoCs used in phones struggle to multi-task in any capacity, which is a necessity for any desktop setting.

Maybe in another 5 or 10 years, but they're still a long ways off from being suitable for desktop use.

The only difference between a PDA in 1990 and a SmartPhone in 2016 is a camera and a capacitive touch screen instead of resistive... There was no real revolution, anyone who thinks smartphone technology is new or started in 2007, is retarded. It has existed and has been refined over and over until Samsung introduced the first capacitive screen design in 2006, which was copied by apple in 2007 to make the first iPhone.

We've been building off of pre-existing tech this entire century so far, and nobody has come up with any original computing ideas other than shitty gimmicks.

Laptops that have a screen resolution that, isn't woefully inadequate.

Either you'll have a mobile device and when you get home you'll drop it into a base and it'll then display your desktop view on a monitor or TV or whichever.

3. Hardware needs to deal with it being plugged

Two ideas here

1) No "physical" keys. Flat surface, you feel the "keys" through vibrations. It's basically a touch-speaker

2) The phone -> PC shit. Massively underclocked ARM, back of the phone is just shiny as fuck metal. Slot it in to a dock, phone connects to monitor/charger/peripherals (most wireless anyway), back just connects to larger heatsink. Full clocks are activated.

These are both possible and I want them.

Phones are already as expensive as desktops. It won't matter, beside the "all your eggs in one basket" meme.

Dual screen touch screen laptop

Bottom screen is a screen keyboard when you need to type. A gaming platform when you're bored for casuals.

When you want to watch something you slide and lock the two screens together and put it on its side for an ultra wide viewing experience. There's a built in stand like the upcoming Nintendo switch. In both this and the regular mode the touch screens can be used to draw on like those expensive screen graphics tablets

That isn't gonna happen. I don't see anyone other than tech geeks using some sort of transformo laptop that you have to fold and unfold.

The future my friends is in touchscreens with basic I/O and network hardware. All in all you subscribe to your favourite company and you rent their cloud hardware. Everyone can use as much as they need and user who doesn't need alot basicly has a dummy phone or dummy device. Super user ( gamer ) pays games (once) and cloud service every month. Think about it.. No local storage, no piracy, no anonimity... NWO.
( I even think that people will buy multiple overpriced screens because there will be some branding differences )

I bet we're going to see some kind of see-thru panel like we see on a lot of tv shows and movies that take place in the future.
You know, they have a piece of glass that has images on it, but you can see through it. Like that's something people want

2020s we'll see smart watches paired with smart glasses
Laptops and tablets will start going out of style
You'll have screens floating in front of you and interact with them like we interact with vr, except without the controllers.
It'll have speech to text to make up for lack of keyboard, or will use eye tracking for typing on a virtual keyboard.

They will actually be less functional.

One port. It's only compatible with the manufacturer's dongle.
Even fewer keys. "POWER USERS" get to use emacs-tier combos.
Internal disk only holds part of the OS and some cache.
Wireless charging docks
No buttons because they're "dated" (aka did not feature in hollywood's futuristic aesthetic)
Expecting better hardware? No, power consumption takes the front seat so laptops can get thinner.
Expecting something interesting? Novelty only sells so much. Enjoy a variation on last decade's norms.
No user freedom. For your own good. Think of the poor people who could get viruses! And think of the copyright infrin...HEARTLESS THEFT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM EXecuti.....HARDWORKING ARTISTS

This would be pretty cool. Just give people the goggles and some Bluetooth gloves to wear.

>>58287270

I know the companies are gonna try an new us, but it's unrealistic for us to be given a black box that we literally can't do anything with except for plug it into the wall. The goggles and gloves would have to come in the box.

They'd make things like the disc drive be sold seperately.

You go to the next century library, instead of lending you books they rent a booth with a tv inside and access privileges to their 300pb digitalized connection. You connect your phone to their screens, and can start writing essays while crossreferencing multiple books. Your time is up, you just save the draft to your phone and clear cache on the booth.

You'll have a ultra thin screen with perhaps a keyboard and wireless, nothing else. All the processing will be done somewhere else (your desktop at home) and the screen will just be streamed back to you.

This is most likely the direction of mainstream computing.
Give it a decade and only professionals, content creators and enthusiast gaymers are going to own powerful workstations and desktops.
Everyone else has a streaming device that stores everything in the cloud.
But the processing is going to be done by large companies like Google and Microsoft, not your home desktop.
