Forrester's projections reflect the shifting definition of the personal computer. In spite of their name, desktop PCs often have several users. Laptops, netbooks, and tablets are usually single-user machines—that is, they really are personal. Modern mobile operating systems are built with room enough for one—Apple's iOS and Google's Android are both tied in to a single user's e-mail, calendar, and app-purchasing accounts. Forrester's numbers also suggest that in the future we'll have many such machines around the house. Your "main" computer will be a laptop—and you'll probably have several smaller, tablet-type machines that you use regularly as well.

Interesting the changes that are coming in the tech world. My new android phone is probably more powerful than desktops of a decade ago.
I do like my desktops, but am increasingly interested in a large laptop like a MacBookPro 17... seems like it would do most I needed it to do.
