I've bought 2 laptops in 15 years - for particular purposes.Once used they were shelved as they could not compete with the desktops - and they could not be upgraded (like a desktop).Portable products cannot compete with my old 386 so why are they being "pushed" by manufacturers.Because they want to "consumerise" their products to create turnover and therefore profit..I accept there is a market for consumers who have low end uses for their machines and thats fine.I cannot see me ever buying or using a tablet.PS I'm looking for a "dumb" phone - I believe this would greatly assist my productivity.
