OH BOY!!!! I can't wait for the future where I do pro photography editing on an iPhone!

chucks PC out the window

There are people out there who literally get new smartphone every year. I've had the same PC since 2009 and have upgraded parts as needed. It's way more powerful than when I got it and I can actually do productive things on it. Sure there are people out there who are entirely consumers of content, but don't try to speak for everyone. There will always be a PC market unless in the future you can plug in your tiny smartphone into a monitor and literally do all the same stuff a full size PC can do.

Of course you'll be able to connect your phone to a large monitor.

That garbage can size box is dead. Soon to be replaced by some future version of the Surface.
