Re: Consumers are making a choice...

Been there, done those. You know, you guys remind me of the Sega Genesis/SNES or PC/Mac days. Here's what I always loved; shut your stupid traps and just get both, unless you are a desktop admin and can't afford but one O' 'tother. I have laptops and desktops of all types, mostly Macs and Linux, and Samesong and Apple pads, and the tablets are almost always better at browsing and other light-duty tasks where you don't want/need to sit in front of the "workstation." They're like light day mini pads, if you will. :P And you won't. For the larger systems, those get to hold files and serve them, and generate content for Kodi/iDevices and generally heat up the place. So, one does not supplant the other. And most work places only hand out Windorks laptops, unless they are making some dosh, then you can choose a Powerbook Pro or a Windozey system. Either way I just stick Vbox/Vagrant on it and run a CentOS VM to do real work. Also, Xbox360 > PS3! Bus wankers! :P
