The need for "Modern PCs"

[NovaCoder]

Desktop computer's (along with their operating systems) are fast becoming obsolete.

The only major things we still do on my PC are ripping movies and coding, we mostly use our smart phones and tablets to access the Net and play games in our house.

Indeed! For me one is fine: Desktop

Not so easy to use on the toilet though is it....

The implication of this thread is you can't do creative or even useful work on a Tablet or phone.

This is complete nonsense.


Games are also getting good.  They surprisingly close to console level even on current phones.


PC sales have recently fallen.  Tablets and phones are selling like hot cakes and are already hitting the PC market, unlike the PC market they are growing rapidly.   A new release of Windows is always a big earner for PC vendors, not this time though, Windows 8 doesn't seem to have much of an impact.

Yes tablet games are getting very good, almost up to current gen console quality now.

I downloaded Rayman for my Nexus 7 last night and was very impressed with the graphics and game play.
