    I feel this is now being driven by the decline of desktops in general.

    Every now and again I meet someone who somehow gets through life without a desktop.

    I can understand someone who owns a Mac/Windows PC just binning it out of frustration and not buying another one. They are just life-sucking levels of horror at this point.

        It’s been years since I owned a tablet. I felt that they were redundant because I have a phone and a desktop and a laptop and a Chromebook.

          Yes, in that case, it really is. But if you have both a phone and a tablet with a keyboard, any kind of PC might be redundant, if you don’t do any specialized task like coding/video/gaming/photography,…

              The iPad Pro covers 99% of Photographer use cases. They’ve got enough processing power now that it doesn’t really have a difference from their laptops

      I’m sure those users would like an experience like a game console or a phone with just apps and shortcuts
