Desktop PCs on Rough Times

Manufacturers making desktop PC motherboards are struggling with declining sales and it seems the trend would continue throughout the year and probably in the years to come. The reason for this is the growing popularity of netbooks, the availability of cheaper laptops, and maybe the growth of smart phones contribute to consumers’ like for smaller gadgets that provide enough productivity to enable them to work.

The desktop PCs is noticed by Intel which is the reason they held a summit in China for desktop manufacturers to boost the interest and keep companies from moving into different markets.

I myself haven’t used a personal desktop for the last three years and I have bought two laptops and a netbook during this time span. This doesn’t mean I don’t like desktops, but laptops have indeed become cheap and the idea of being able to carry my laptop or netbook anywhere add to its appeal.

However, I am not abandoning the desktop and I am actually saving up enough cash to build my dream desktop PC. My best friend Anton who himself hasn’t used a desktop for years have recently bought a desktop. I think the desktop market is not dead and sooner or later this market area is going to bounce back as long as they provide far powerful and cheaper pricing to consumers.

Are you still into desktops?
