I have often wondered why the Desktop PC never got replaced by the NB or even the lower cost Net Book. But now, it's going to get replaced by a Tablet???
Perhaps the tipping point is the Price vs Power? Especially in the business world, the Desktop is still the more practical choice? Perhaps there's a current paradigm shift happening now? Cloud computing, Web-based software and subscription based model is going to change the way on how we work / play?? In this case, a low cost Tablet (no need for high storage) may eventually conquer the world... But, still need 3/4G or WiFi to access all those important data and apps leh...
PS. For those who're getting old and long-sighted, a Tablet may not be a very productive computing device... If we have to add in a large external monitor + keyboard... prices may not be as attractive for organisations after all... Perhaps only more important staff will get to enjoy this.. for now..
