PCs aren't going anywhere. Games have gotten too advanced to be played on a tablet. There's not one game released in the last 5 years that would run decently on a tablet. The Sims maybe.
Tablets could potentially run a large number of Indie Games, like FTL, Mark Of The Ninja, Kung Fu Strike or etc, but Indie Game Makers would never waste their time making it Tablet Compaditble.

Also, I've heard of some MMOs that can work on Tablets. But those MMOs have shitty graphics so...

But playing Full Scale games like Witcher 2? LOLOLOL NOPE.

My tab will never replace my laptop.
Nor will mines.....which one did you get?
I have the Archos 250gb Turbo tab, I have an Acer 5742g laptop. I just ordered an HP Probook 4530s laptop.
archos ??
my first tab yrs ago was an archos ...

those guys were something else.... bare knuckle ass system like a ford car ... everything else is an option
media-player, opera internet exployer ? ...everything u gotta pay the piper
maybe they changed of late ....first on scene,wasted opportunity for predominance , tell greco greed isn`t good always !!
No bro, it's all changed. I have 250gb w/turbo processor, HDMI, USB and all kinds of options. But I like that COREi7 that you mentioned. I haven't heard of that one.

I haven't seen those here in Israel, very interesting. They'll probably be overpriced like other computers here, which avg about 30-60% higher than there.

I can assure you tablets aren't going to phase out the PC like the DVD player did VHS.
I predict......

They will phase out game consoles. You'll be able to control the game, streamed via the Internet into your TV, via a tablet. :D
Nah game consoles are pushing for that 3d shit
Bookstores will be closing also because of tablets.

Magazines will be going digital. Newsweek will no longer be printing magazines. It will now be available only on Kindles and IPads.

Fashion magazines most likely will be exempt.

That's a good thing. I'm all for going green....but I do wish they keep text books. Kids don't need iPads in school.

I think CDs will become played out too and all music digital. As will DVDs....

Netflix is taking over and red box and block buster are said to be gone in 5 years

CDs are pretty much obselete now. I can't remember the last time I bought an actual CD, maybe 10 years ago. Same with DVDs.

Get at me when a tablet can play Call of Duty or can run a desktop publishing program
This. Just this. People need to calm down. The only people who use Tablets are Stupid Asian Hipsters, Rich White Kids and Black kids trying to act cool anyways.
I don't know about all of that. I have a tablet, but it's for entertainment not anything serious. In fact I'm using it right now to post on this crap site and watching Netflix while I'm working :D :D

Well clearly your line of work doesn't have you using a laptop. My line of work (Video Game Programming), REQUIRES me to use a laptop. So do most of my colleges and most other lines of work.

Only stupid Hipsters use Tablets.

My line of work does require a laptop. My line of work deals with heavy amounts of emails and proprietary information.

And I tablet is easier to carry than a laptop bag.

Only ignorant biased whores think a hipster uses a tablet
