i have an amsung laptop, it's really good. Much better than most I've used.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;46065952]The fuck are you talking about. People are still making PCs.[/QUOTE] They mean the premade PC market
I don't have an amsung laptop but I now realize that I have quite a lot amsung devices,a monitor, a mobile and a netbook. Wow.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;46066244]That's not to say that laptops are useless, though. I could think of tons of scenarios and professions where having a laptop would be the best bet. If you travel a lot and need that power and a full QWERTY keyboard and full Windows apps, for example, a laptop might be your best bet. It's just to say that what works for some people doesn't always work for everyone else.[/QUOTE] They are still good for students. It would be fairly difficult to get through classes only using a tablet, with maybe the exception of the Surface. Computer science related classes for sure.
IMO laptops are quite obsolete. If you need portability, get a tablet. If you need a pc then build it yourself.
what they meant was the pc market is over saturated and they don't want to put in more effort for diminishing returns to compete with cheaper brands
[QUOTE=redBadger;46066598]IMO laptops are quite obsolete. If you need portability, get a tablet. If you need a pc then build it yourself.[/QUOTE] yeah because nobody does work outside of their homes
Just a note, because it sounds like some people missed it; This article and others say that they are only exiting the market in Europe. Meaning, things continue as normal outside of Europe.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46066217]This is a very pragmatic view at the situation. As long as you can afford keeping both a decent quality desktop and decent quality tablet, you pretty much cover most of what the notebook would be for. If you can only really afford one device, notebook can kinda be something in between, but isn't really that great at either role.[/QUOTE] I have desktop PCs, notebooks, smartphones and a tablet. Yet, I haven't used that tablet for 2 years now because it's just so supremely useless for everything. I want to watch a movie? I use my TV. Play a game? Use the desktop PC. Surf the web? Use the desktop PC. Do something productive? Use the desktop PC. Not at home? Take the notebook. What situation isn't covered here where the tablet would be useful?

Pretty expensive, but the series 9 was pretty great: [thumb]http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/samsung/samsung-12q1-series9-13-frontangle-lg.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=Killergam;46065959]PC\Laptop > Tablet. and yet tablets are more mainstream now.[/QUOTE] Convertibles like the Asus Transformer Book are the best.
Sucks, samsung laptops were cool (at least the ones I have) with those jbl speakers and a 1600x900 screen for the price of a pile of crap.
