Yet again I am told that I will give up my 27in PC/Mac for a phone that will do loads of different things badly. My iMac allows me to watch movies, edit documents and do substantial downloads all at the same time. The smart phone is not up to it. Neither is an ipad. This is so stunningly obvious I do not understand how journalists keep coming out with this dribble. Use the appropriate tool for the job.
I am being forced at work to move from a pc with three displays down to a 15in laptop. Productivity is going to nose dive. I spend most of the time moving windows around so I can gather and use their contents. Nuts. The PC/Mac has a long life ahead of it for as long as people want to be productive and not just play at doing proper work.
