I used to buy computers (PC and Mac) every couple years because hardware changed sooooo fast. Processors, video cards, buses, memory etc, We plateaued years ago in hardware and very little has changed for desktops in 5 or more years. So why bother buying a new desktop until it dies?
If you're a gamer you used to have to buy a new video card every 6-12 months to play the latest games at top settings. Now I can play a new game in top, HD settings with a 2+ year old card. The market is different.
Desktops are mature. All the innovation and need to improve is in the mobile/tablet space now. More speed, lower power, smaller size.
So tablets are only 1 factor in slumping sales, the lower demand requirement is another.
- True. I think my next upgrade of kit is the last I'm going to need for a while.mikotondria3
