The desktop has historically been the leader in the computing business, but in recent years, the notebook has taken charge. And as that changeover continues to progress, is it time to write off the desktop?

remove desktops in office and risk datatheft while beeing out of office ? (loss of the laptop in generel, unsecure wireless etc.)
remove the desktop for professionals ? (gimme my 2x24" + quadrofx gpu for modeling and where good)
it will stay as it is and thats perfect. Desktops at work and office, laptops on the go to work on certain aspects and then sync back on work.
the trend is going to owning BOTH instead of choosing one, and since most people are using theyre laptops only for inet and music listening on the go, id rather see future ipod pda devices replace the common laptop then the laptop replacing the desktop
Desktops will always have a significant advantage over portable designs.
There is no question that at any given price point, you get a far better machine for your money with a desktop.
I don't see to many laptops with 30" screens and many terabytes of storage available - never mind the pro 3D cards I need to do my work.
There will always be a market for desktops, even if it shrinks.
I prefer laptop only. I had desktop and laptop but stopped using desktop as it got a bit older. Now I'm staying on laptop in future. I use desktop computer only at my office and even for work I would prefer using laptop so I can take my work home easier.
Only thing that bothers me is the price of laptops compared to desktops but this is not of much importance to me.
Desktops will always hold an advantage for high end users but for most users, a laptop does everything they need more than well enough.
I think even offices will start to some around to laptops soon, not for use as being portable (though that is useful) but due to other things like the reduced size (lead to smaller desks and more workers in a smaller space), lower power consumption (this is the big win) and the inclusive nature of them packing everything into one package (a base is relatively cheap but the screen, keyboard, mouse, webcam and speakers plus all the cables and plugs needed to tie it all together close the price differential considerably.
Laptops will take over most of the market apart from the very very high end uber expensive movie editing and gamer markets.
