        <description><![CDATA[Rendering, video encoding,  CFD, simulations,...At the same time with no slowdown of the interface so I can do other stuff while waiting for them to complete. I can easily pin all 8 threads at 99% with this stuff and do so regularly.When I can render graphics like Avatar in real-time, I might be happy. But then I could start building entire planets at micro-metre resolution,... There's no limit to the amount of processing power one could use if it was available.And, yes, I know that is not typical, but we are talking abut ALL desktops.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think it would be easy to build a very high end computer in a notebook style that can sit in a case that straps on like a back pack or side pack and uses a HUD shield that's like a very large pair of glasses, but the power to run it for more than just a few minutes will be a killer. Yes we now have notebook batteries that last for several hours of use, but the existing HUD technology really draws a lot of power, much more than the notebooks do. Thus the power source would have to be about ten times what is now used for a notebook - that's a lot of space and a lot of weight. Then you have to add in the sensors etc for the gesture style input system and power for that.I do seem to remember seeing an article on a virtual reality system a few years back that worked with a HUD and a special sensor suit to detect body movement and gestures to feedback to the computer. But the whole thing worked of the mains and fed through a large desktop computer, so it's likely you could get the computer down in size, but that power issues still needs resolution.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[but when do you need more than a quad core processor over 2GHz and more than 4GB of ram?  My first desktop computer was a 286 with 12Hz when on turbo and 1MB of RAM.  Pretty much all phones now could run that box as a virtual machine, several times over, and still work as a phone.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think this type of configuration is the only way to fly.  I want to be able to project my screen somewhere so others can see what I see (this could get congested during meetings).  I would ned a second set of non-computing-communication glasses to use for driving and walking.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Means it needs not only a desktop OS, but desktop performance. Phones are a long way short of that and will be for a long time. You just can't stuff the CPU, GPU, RAM and disk space available in a desktop into that sized box and run it from batteries.Even the so called desktop-replacement notebooks are still a long way short of what I can get in a desktop.Don't get me wrong, I'm all for wearable computers, personal area networks and so on, I just don't think they will be a complete replacement for a desktop any time soon.]]></description>
