Apple has been destroying the PC for years.

Apple has been destroying the PC for years.

I agree with you there. Apple has destroyed the personal computer.
Luckily we have better companies for our computer needs. Like Microsoft.

Anyways...

I remember watching one of those. I'm not sure i'm going to like glass tablets and other glass stuff. They are to thin and easily lost/broken. We aren't ready for this type of stuff. As you saw it was laying on the ground in the beginning of the video and I would have stepped on it in the morning.

If someone is willing to buy me all these tablets, and electronic glass displays than I can see it happening for me. I'm not sure I have the money to replace all my current PCs with glass displays since I don't have much money to begin with.

I plan on using my current desktop computer until it breaks, and can't be repaired anymore because no one sells stand-alone ram, CPU, motherboard, power supplies, and other computer parts for a good price because the desktop computer will be an antique/vintage collectable item worth tens of thousands of dollars to rich geek culture collectors and museums like vintage type writers and telephones which can be worth many thousands since they are so rare.

The glass is known as grorilla glass, So even if you drop the machine it wont smash. Amazing how they can make glass this strong.

Think there already started working it out

There is also a Samsung AMOLED display which is unbreakable with a hammer. It is flexible as well.

I like to have a smartphone which I can place in my wallet like paper money, and unfold to use when I have to use it, and also own a tablet which can be rolled up like a scroll, so I can easily carry it in my front pant's pocket by rolling it up into a scroll.

I wouldn't say Apple has destroyed the PC, Millions of people still use Microsoft as there OS.

I've removed several posts from this topic.

Let's stay on topic.

I will reiterate what I posted here in nicer, smaller, terms:

1) No, they will not be completely removing the PC.
2) No, tablets are not suitable for coding, period.

1) I hope they don't but like I said there only predicting.
2) Tablet was my last resort, But My PC fells like better when coding so I can agree with this.
Tablets are mainly built for games and normal browsing.

Tablets may work for Scratch which is a visual based Scratch Programming Language made by MIT.

The Microsoft Windows 8 Surface Pro with a keyboard type-cover could work for programming. I read a lot of people like using it for office and productivity related work.

Windows tablets might be alot powerfull. But android or apple tablets are the less powerful and more casual tablets.

Can you do this on Windows RT Machines?

When the Tegra 4 comes to Windows RT, it can be faster than existing lowend Intel Atom based Windows 8 tablet.

The Nvidia Shield, and a HP Android Hybrid tablet with a keyboard dock already run on the Tegra 4.
