I do believe that mobile computing will push desktops into the margins of yesteryear. Mobile could be the 5th generation of computing as devices are getting more and more powerful and capable. Quad-core Tegra 3? Epic. Lightweight, powerful, adaptive. Don't stop the change.
Well I can't imagine me plugging in my 5.1 speakers, racing steering wheel and Track IR into my phone to play some of my games. So no, mobiles wont replace PC.
I think we will have many computers. We will have larger non-mobile or semi-mobile computers at homes, ones we use in our cars, ones we carry on our person & they won't be considered competing with each. It will just be considered normal to have some sort of computing/communciation/entertainment device with you wherever you are. Size being determined by convenience. It's already somewhat like that now.
Desktop PC's will not die out. The amount of processing power is vastly different. It would be like comparing a husky to a chihuahua.
In the mainstream world, it may die off in say ~30 years. But professionally, there are industries that without PC's, the industry would basically disappear.
oh and to every smartphone user.. it's not windows or apple software. welcome to linux :3
Didn't desktop PCs stop being mainstream a while ago losing popularity to Laptops. I can easily imagine the same thing happening with tablets and phones.
I can't imagine PCs ceasing to exist as there will always be people who need that power but I can see them possibly being niche product.
Theres nothing like playing battlefield 3 on my gaming rig and 30'' monitor with video settings all maxed out w/ nvidia 3D vision. You're right how can you compare that to an android LOL.
Maybe you should just change the title to Will mobile Devices kill Consoles?
Try and tell me PCs are dying when you see purpose in being on the move. I know for a darn fact that it's completely useless to even consider the industry to be dying when you have the big guys requiring ridiculous amounts of computing power, harddrive space or other extremely high end equipment.
Till those industries die off altogether you're not gonna see PCs "dying" - changing in terms of availability and becoming something of a cult icon, perhaps, but dying is far from the right term.
Tablets and Laptops will kill desktops ... Building your own Gaming Rig will Die off because of services such as Onlive which allows you to stream high end games. The only reason I see desktops surviving are , business use and Digital Development such as 3d modelling, video editing, science ECT.
You don't get home and start thinking damn i wanna play my iPod you want to be playing on your PC or Console, only time I touch my iPod is when I'm on public transport.
i really hope the personal computer system is not dying, i love it so much. i think the pads and handheld devices today are really "new." it would probably take a long time for the pc to phase out completely, until mobile devices can be up to par
Hard to see these things currently on a market to replace pc. In fact,pc can replace many of current things on a market: can control it with touch,speech,handheld control device,movement..use it for gaming,have million different accessories with it. It can be big,small,stationary,portable.. Powerful and capable or build to accomplice simple tasks or build for some special purpose. Multipurpose multifunctional device,which changes as technology does.
Mobile devices will never outlast PCs. One thing that CAN be done with a PC (at least in theory) that you can't do with a cellphone is protect it from a high-altitude EMP attack and still use it in the aftermath. Relying on these phones at this time is a BAD BAD idea. And so are these "open air" cases. We need to prepare guys. Faraday Cages FTW.
It's out for those that just want to surf the net, watch movies, and gossip. Individuals that love gaming, video & photo editing, and even businesses that are reliant on applications to make money will have a need for the personal computer... I'm surprised that someone like you would be so negative, maybe it's just an overreaction on your part. Mobile devices are here to stay and will keep improving, but to say it will kill the personal computer seems way to extreme. .
Mobile devices will only be popular with the low-level-common-user as a primary platform. For instance, allot of girls I know on my facebook account only access the internet on their phones and others via laptop. however, true PC gamers, average and high level class of development/production/etc.. will always be desktop until a more powerful and efficient method is made. Tabs/Pads, phones and Laptops may be convenient but have a very short life span and seriously lack the power of a desktop.
Bull Crap... Sure, we will see the growth and overall adoption of mobile devices. But many people want and/or rely on having the most power possible. 3D Rendering for example: more power will be demanded infinitely. Something that took an hour to render, two years ago, now takes 20 minutes, on today's hardware. Because of that, creators will be more and more ambitious with their projects, and demand more power still. No mater what happens, the traditional desktop will always be more powerful.
Since technology is always evolving, I can see mobile devices and stationary devices meeting somewhere in the middle someday. Imagen an OLED Screen folded up in your pocket with a alienware the size of an ipad in your bag, and an OCZ NIA type device as a controller.
It will take at least another 20 years til we will know. Mobil devices today are very slow compared to PC. You can do Email but you can´t do Photoshop. Also the usability is a pain and working or gaming is not ergonomic with this devices.
I think the better question is if, the desktop (not pc) is dying. Yes of course the smartphone, tablets and other small devices are already killing the desktop. This is not a dumb question, alot of people here don't know what they are talking about. Yes, developers and so forth, will still develop on the desktop but consumer wise, the desktop market is already losing major share to smaller electronic devices (tablets, smartphone, laptops).
3000 and 4000 $ for a gaming pc ? you must mean a enthousiast overclocker pc ^^
why would somebody want to play a videogame on a small 10 inch screen instead of a 50inch tv with surround sound that takes you into a game a experience I got a mobile device wich has windows and some stupid games on there .. but i don't think your really a gamer when ur playing angry birds just sayin' .. and rodney i cannot log in on your site, i already registered my email once, tried resetting pasword no mail .
Haha! had to laugh right now, portable stuff taking over for fat-ass desktops? Aint gonna happen, the market might be larger and the portables more powerful, but still.
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500gig $90 (sadly hdds are expensive as hell right now)
xfx 6870 1 gig $180
cd/dvd drive lets say $30
Not going to include psu on this list because that can easily depend on the case soo lets say $100(average case with a psu) let's not forget rebates and all of that
soo that's a total 745, I guarantee you that will play anything.
@thereddog223 Completely honest exact monitor size (1440x900) if I remember right. got 30 at full settings. If I still had the cards I'de show you the results.
OFC they will kill PCs in their current format one day. Selling-point of todays desktops is that they have a more comfortable design for for heavy workloads such as long texts and anything that require a large display. They are also more more powerful than mobile devices and are thus more suited for heavy gaming and rendering. One day we will reach a pont where power will exceed demand and mobile devices will be able to do the same as desktops. The desktop will either change or be unneccecary.
Just one more thing to reiterate on that I didn't say before. The PC wont die as part of people transitioning from PC to mobile to end PC for good. Instead things are becoming more affordable and this is basically the tech generation. You're going to see more people buying mobile since their good for the most basic stuff and medium spec stuff is cheaper. A lot of people already buy external monitors/keyboards/mice for mobile devices, tech people that is. No it will not die, it will be sectioned.
It's not dying. It's just that there is a peak of what you can actually use or need in terms of PC specs. Were @ quad core/hexa core cpus, insane ram space/massive storage/crazy clocked gpu's. There will always be a market for this stuff, but I believe this will further companies transitions into mobile computing. Having that reach it's peak. Their now making slimmer laptops.
Evan Star Trek still had Tablets, tricorders and big computers to power the holodeck. Maybe cloud computing services alike Onlive would allow consumers to not have to own the big expensive hardware, but that would suck if it were the only option.
Consoles are already killing the PC/Desktop. Consumers that aren't gamers aren't going to give a crap about "PC Gaming". Developers have already moved away from PC gaming all together, all the PC gets is console ports.
