Apple Sounds the PC Death Rattle - NYTimes.com
I will get rid of my laptop when I no longer have to create content. Jobs perceives most of his users as exclusively consumers who only have to type a domain name. Even with good voice recognition one is not going to want to write a paper without a physical keyboard. To the extent that components of a computer are modularized so that ones ID is logged into from the cloud and then devices are assembled from complementary components such as screens, keyboards, mice, touchpads, disk drives, etc., then one might not own a "laptop" but rather have a screen and keyboard that can be snapped together when desired or communicate via bluetooth. The death if the physical keyboard is still a long way off, and the keyboard is the key difference between a tablet and a laptop (even with a touch screen).
