If they are anything like the current models, they will have to force those tabs of LSD on me first and then sell me one while I am under the influence.  ;D-app103 (March 15, 2011, 03:10 AM)

Now, this made me ponder a bit...

Do you reckon Apple users have all been drugged with Scopolaminew? That'd kinda explain a few things.

Ever notice how an Apple store looks more clean & clinical than most hospitals? I figured it was because they were performing lobotomies.

And the real news is that forecasters see the percentage of laptops starting to decline in 2012, with desktop sales decreasing even further. The winner looks to be tablets, sales of which are expected to steadily increase.

And while the Forrester report has laptop sales still comfortably out front in 2015, real world experience may tell a different story. In September of last year, Wired Magazine reported that Best Buy Chief Executive Brian Dunn said the iPad had replaced as much as half of all laptop sales at their stores.

Timely. I've got some stuff on my desk at the moment from a client that will be using tablets (mobile platforms) to revolutionize education. It's wicked cool stuff.

Stoic Joker:
To me it just proves that half of the people that buy laptops don't really need them.

In the 6 years I've had my laptop, I've probably used it less than 15 hours total. Typically for some manner of diagnostic (or router configuration), that only required that I have a network connection and a command prompt or browser window.

So I could easily deal with a much smaller & lighter device ... as long as it had a proper OS that would run whatever app~lication I chose to write for it.
