Quote:If I handed you a 600gig touch screen device that ran Windows XP/7 why would you need a PC? No really, why?

Yes, for two reasons.

1: I like being able to use a large screen, and applications such as web design and visual arts practically demand the largest screen area and resolution possible. Trying to design something in Photoshop on a 6 inch handheld device sounds as fun as tweezing your pubic hair with salad tongs.
2: A touch screen is useful for some applications, but horribly inadequate for tasks such as typing anything longer than a web address or a simple sentence.

Portable computing beneath the level of a netbook has its advantages, but it will never replace desktop computing until some very advanced (read: direct neural) interface is designed to overcome the limitations inherent in interfacing with portable devices.
