gollark: Most people basically just want to use Facebook, email, an office suite, that sort of thing, so their phone would work fine with laptop-grade IO and tweaked software.
gollark: It's not good for power users, but many phones have video output and USB host capability, and docks are already a thing.
gollark: The technology already kind of exists.
gollark: My very guessed predictions for the PC market's future in the next 10 years:- ARM will become more of a thing in laptops and perhaps servers, but x86 will continue to stick around a lot- Phones (with portable dock things with extra batteries, keyboards and bigger screens) will take over from laptops for a lot of people's casual uses.- HDDs will mostly cease to exist in the average person's devices and mostly be used in servers, some people's desktops for whatever reason, and NASes- CPU clock speeds/IPC will continue increasing slowly and we'll get moar coar and more GPU offloading to compensate- Persistent RAM stuff like Optane will get used a bit but remain mostly niche
gollark: yes.
