For the nth time, they keep saying the PC is dead.

[Jaime74656]

i tried to honestly put photo shop on a tablet and all I can say it was so painful for me I just decided my PC was gonna stick around for the long haul...so yea....guess the PC aint dead, yea it may be immobial but guess what its a lot more powerful them my most powerful laptop (which is good but not as good) and if im on the go with my laptop im not really playing games anyways, sadly thats kinda grown out of me a bit and im just keeping it around because it does what I want and its my experimentation toy now

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Too right

For something that is dead it sure has an irritating way of irritating me.

Yeah jd but it couldn't be more irritating than one those toys eh?

As for me I think I posted earlier do these characters realise that we are all ageing and form 21 everything is going south including your eyesight. Now I don't know about anyone else but to stand there squinting at some piece of cr errrr toy in your palm would drive me nuts. No bring on the big screen and something you can get inside and change things around!!

Oh and I think your home town's name is so cool

I honestly wonder if parrots were making this stuff up, i mean it seems like they keep saying it over and over and over again just like parrots say things repeatedly...

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yep

I honestly wonder if parrots were making this stuff up, i mean it seems like they keep saying it over and over and over again just like parrots say things repeatedly...

LOL I like that now which of the roughly 372 species of parrots did you have in mind? We have some really brilliant ones out here and I reckon they all ought to have an Ipad / Blackberry or whatever they call them things. Wouldn't last long with some them and in my mind a good job too

I work with a lot of female staff and they are forever playing with the wretched things so you can imagine what the work rate is like. I'll be so glad when the fad dies out a bit, as I am also sick of having to block ads in my emails for these devices, and I am shortly coming off Cnet mailing list too - sick of hearing about Apple this Apple that

 

[Jaime74656]

all of them, im sure of it, and I know what you mean...i was gonna show a graph to show the relation between the Ipad and work decrease but my stupid office wont cooperate with me...grr

The day PC is dead,is the day electricity is dead.It will live forever.These silly new tablets & smartphones are nice looking,but in all honesty I really dislike them.Screw handheld touchscreens.I will stick to my towers,laptops,& real keyboards.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yeah +10000 green just wish Apple and Off yer Facebook Twatter and all those ridiculous toys would just go away - preferably to another universe and leave us in peace with our beautiful PC's.

I'd take mine to bed in the car to work if I could fit them all in:roflmao:

The way I see it, apples are good for only one thing, delicious pies and tarts.

+1 John on Facebook and Twitter, and nor Google+, ugh.

and don't forget touch displays ill stick to those instead of these new fangled tablets...yes I had an iPad that my brother gave me but i gave it back and said keep it...

I don't think the PC will ever die, not in our generation anyhow.
No doubt tablets and laptops will catch up, but they'll never be as powerful and as reliable as a personal computer, thus keeping the PC the leader.

i think blue Ray is outdated anyway. 25 GB on a slow CD size device while i cna have much cheaper and faster flash memory that is easier to handle? It is just a copyright issue and bandwith limitations that justify existence of disks like that.

If not for blue ray, how else can you distribute 20+ GB ?

I have 12 mbps internet. That's around 5 GB per hour best case. So 4 hours to download the equivalent of a blue ray disk. Too slow.

Meanwhile the blue ray disk costs, what, a buck to produce? Much cheaper than any disk drive.

Disk drives are for keeps. Blue ray is for distribution. Neither is a replacement for the other. They each have a distinct role.

Well Intel isn't buying it. The PC is not dead! - YouTube

Although they're investing heavily in Ultrabook.

 

[arkhi]

Woah! That's a great link UberlegenKlient! Thanks for that

Intel did a great job pointing out the fact about "tabloids selling the story" LOL. We here at sevenforums know better than to buy that crap of a story

There is a lot of things that I do that can't be accomplished using a portable computer. I need all the processing power I can get. And that comes from a desktop computer. As far as gaming goes and the PC, a lot of my games are meant to be played on a desktop computer so I will still stick with it as long as possible.

Get back to me with "The PC is dead" when I can get a tablet with 1920x1080 resolution, 1 TB of space and a 3 GHz quad core CPU with hyper-threading. Till then, no thanks on replacing my PC with a tablet.

serious overkill. I'd be perfectly happy with 250gb of SSD space and 1.7 ghz dual core i5, myself.

Hi all
I posted on the W8 Forum (hope it's not against the rules here to mention W8) that I belive a Killer app would be a 10.1 inch PC with a detachable screen which could be used as a tablet either running W8 or android or whatever.

When the tablet was inserted back into the PC dock it would just be a 100% bog standard PC screen.

Why there isn't any of this type of hard ware apart from the ASUS which only runs android I can't understand.

If I saw a decent tablet /PC combo like I've described I'd buy it in a shot.

Cheers
jimbo

Well you can. So I guess the PC is dead for you. All you need to do is replace the SSD with a 1TB Hard Drive and you are good to go.
