Looks like desktop and laptop computers are on the way out. The
smartphone with it's always on internet browser is coming in. Use a
tablet to connect to your smartphone's own hotspot if you want a larger
screen. Portable, mobile use anywhere. Should also kill computer desk
sales. Works for me.


You'll not experience the actual computing power of a desktop in a tablet
or smartphone for a good while to come. They couldn't touch this 4 ghz
quad core AMD/Asus combo with 8 GB ram, NVidia CUDA support and 2
terabytes of SATA 3 storage. Oh, forgot the 32" HD monitor.


How does that work out portability wise? Do you have any issues getting
it through the TSA checkpoints at the airport?
