I can understand that you're basing your view on what you observe in your environment. But that's exactly what I'm doing too, and it surprises me that you think tablets are the predominant devices, probably similar to the surprise you might be feeling about my viewpoint. However, the figures speak for themselves. 14:1 is indisputable. Buttons are far from obsolete  |
That's good to know as I know that they were saying Desktop would be five years ago but I still prefer mine over any type of PC. I do not like the mini desktops I need something I can upgrade or replace parts on as it's ages.
The netbook is a separate issue to the question do people even use laptops anymore, It has nothing to do with the buttons statement. I see netbooks everywhere but I haven't seen a laptop in ages other hten my own. Hubby tried to use my netbook on campus but he hates the small screen.
As for tablets as they come down in price time will only tell if people buy them instead of a netbook. Of course I think tablets have a long way to go with software before they can compete with a normal PC. Office type apps are really limited on the Andriod OS but as MS release more PC type tablets that may change.
