Desktop Scale
These 'predictions' have little value, it seems obvious to those of us with a practical insight into how people actually work that desktop PC's are here to stay in many industries where the scale of the work demands a large screen and a decent local storage capacity. Yes, Robust Laptops with docking stations enabling peripheral expansion are a good alternative-where you can attach a big screen etc-but the economics of PC hardware make them very appealing-it is cheap to have a lot of storage/processing power and visual scale in the modular package of a PC/workstation-mobile is an option, not a paradigm.
