> Now as the "PC" market moves to more turnkey solutions, nothing has yet backfilled the void being left behind.

I don't understand. I can buy a very powerful PC at very low cost from any nearby mall. I can build one custom from components I buy at NewEgg or Amazon. I can get a Mac with its great fit and finish. I can choose Windows, Linux or OS X.

What void? Nothing went away. Workstations are better and cheaper than ever. Go buy one.

I would like a better screen, I'm not interested in the Metro interface, and the new MacPro has no internal slots. There's not much excitement happening in desktops/workstations, sure. But they didn't go away.




They will go away if the inertia drops to zero and the industry doesn't wake up that we need solid hardware, and not fingerprints on garbage.
