I’m in my 20s, I grew up with all that stuff and I still don’t want to give up my desktop.
I have an Android smartphone, I like it and all, but it’s NEVER going to compete with my desktop PC.
My laptop is broken, the hinges on the screen are barely attached, so that really hasn’t convinced me of its superiority.
I can’t afford a tablet, nor really desire one. Most people I know that have them are just Apple fanatics who buy the “next big thing”. I’m more frugal with my limited income.
40s here, and will never do without my desktop. I have all: an Android, desktops, laptops, tablet, and Kindle. While I have enjoyed the tablet at night to maybe do some final reading before bed, or watch Netflix, it will never replace the functionality of my desktop. I was trying to write an email on it just last night and had to give up and come back to my desktop. Just a simple email.
And while I enjoy having my Android, can surf the web while I am out and about, websites are limited, at best.
At work we use laptops, and they may have functionality for freedom of movement, for hard data crunching, desktops still reign. And we all have our laptops docked and attached to at least one regular, if not two or more monitors.
I briefly saw another poster make a point that technology was moving so fast, that from the late 90s until recently, you almost had to build a new desktop every year to keep up. My current desktop is 2 years old, and is still extremely fast and able to keep up with recent innovations. Windows 7 is working very well, I don’t feel the need to upgrade.
