True. Prices. But regarding many desktop configs, can't it be said they now tend to cost less, at equal services? I of course don't speak about the kind of desktop machines which won't soon disappear, servers and all. Neither about "DIY" machines. Yes. True. Prices.

The same could be said for a laptop as well. Some people need external drives, hook up monitors, plug in a real mouse, etc…

Within five years, laptops and notebooks will be still much more numerous, that's a fact all companies know. But it's for a lot more difficult to deal with a notebook than with a desktop machine. That's a main reason they'll never avow(desktop users, not companies). Anyway, donkeys stand on often a long time on their positions... Moreover, the base article is of those ones obiously calling a fivty-fivty answer. @Michael Dobrowsky
