Damn tablets! Why can't you satisfy my needs, so I can finally send my PC to landfill?

Makes me want to say "Hah, In Your Face !" to those so-called "market analyst experts" who keep predicting the death of PCs.

As long as tablets cannot even run Crysis 1, PCs will never die !

because playing crysis 1 is important to 99% of PC users... Also windows tablets can play crysis 1 (scales down well)



Well this didn't surprise me for q2, its the quarter following windows XP's EOL so it make sense the a lot of people bought new computers. Tablets have definitely slowed in my store except for windows and ipad sales, the android sales have really slowed, seems like the android market is slowing down overall (over saturation lack of innovation?)

I hope they hold off as long as they can on releasing Broadwell.
