12 days agoI would be surprised if this is still true, at least for home use. It seems like the non-gamer, non-power user segment of the PC market just switched over to tablets and smartphones instead. PCs and laptops just aren’t really necessary anymore for “normal” people who just want to check their email, watch YouTube, and surf the web.
A PC is just a server in a different box. Sure, home compute may become more niche, and Best Buy and Walmart might even stop selling consumer desktop PCs. But with enough open source software and stubbornness, the option to run your own hardware isn’t going anywhere.
