With all the doom and gloom about desktop PCs how come I am building more than ever? I have built two this week and considering it is not even something I advertise that is a lot. Mind you I usually tell customers if they need a new PC that if you buy one ready made from the likes of PCW the parts are not always standard and if it needs to go in for repair under warranty you might be without it for a few weeks while it goes back to the manufacturer, where as I can sort it out straight away.
But the media would make out nobody is buying PCs. I think desktops are dead for the average single PC user who just wants to watch a bit of TV and check their facebook profiles, but most professional users still prefer a good old fashioned PC to a laptop or tablet.
I don't have a tablet myself, my Sony Xperia S handles most my ultra portable internet needs, and if I need something better I have my netbook. I most prefer to my use my desktops though.
