A lot of the "Post PC world!" chatter misses the point that computers for a lot of people are substantially more durable goods than phones or tablets, and have been at something of a plateau of development for about five years now. People aren't buying a lot of computers because their 2-5 year old machines still work just fine. Mobile tech, otoh, still makes significant strides year by year, often gets rougher use (being mobile), and is a status symbol, all of which adds up to much more frequent purchases.
