It's all about the tablets now...
I don't believe that for a minute. Not everyone wants to put all of their workload onto a tablet. A lot of people still need workstations. Tablets are for nothing but playing, not real work.
Oh, I know... of course, 99% of consumers don't know that. Which is what is killing the desktop market. Laptops will hang on, but desktops are going the way of minicomputers. There will always be a small niche market but the days of the "home PC" are over. Everyone will have tablets, and there might be some laptops "for real work" as you put it. But a big box tied to one place?
