PC decline is not temporary: Study

[Bibi]

The docking station is for charging the tablet. It comes with a keyboard in case the user wants to charge and surf the internet. Tablet with keybord docking station just for surfing net is cheaper to a nb or pc right?

Any company working in defence industry with Mindef as customer has to separate their office PC with internet PC. Now the internet PC is going to be replaced by tablet with KB dock station. So tell me, did tablet cause a decline in PC demand in this case? If someone still insist no, then i rest my case.

It is insane to work in an organisation which do not allow internet access for knowledge and info. Mine simply have a separate PC solely for internet. I believe Mindef and ST did likewise.

if a tablet with it's own touchscreen keyboard were practical why would anybody still need a separate docking station with keyboard? Soreness in the neck from looking downwards all the time?

on a separate vein

Someone I used to know work for Defense science once told me in his office environment all desk have workstations but the features that support mobile devices are disabled and not allowed due to security concerns that mobile devices are usually concealable.

More than 10 years ago I too went to mindef one of the lesser important underground sites for some work, besides the stringent physical checks there they don't allow any internet, all the pcs have their usb ports disabled and diskette drives removed so nobody can copy out any infos.

So now as then the security concern for theft or computer hacking will still the same and even more so conscious as before from wikileaks and Edward Snowden revelations. I guess sensitive organizations to prevent theft will not allow mobile equipment for security reasons those organizations like maybe frontdesk service industries will probably want more aesthetic modern savvy looking devices to keep up with appearances.
