Consider this: You have a fully functional workstation at your desk.
You finish up what you're doing and pull the
computer out of its dock. The computer has all of your apps, all of your configurations,
and all of your data. You
can use many of those apps on the computer's 4" touch screen. If you need a
larger screen or a keyboard, you break
out your "laptop" form-factor dock and plug the computer in to it. Presto, you
have all of your apps and data on a
laptop and continue your work.
what about redundancy aka RAID?
what about large data?
The computer can be used independently, and it can be used in a
laptop or workstation dock.
and usually all this are compromises which doing
nothing of both really well
Is there room in THAT world for traditional desktop/workstation
computers? Probably some for people who need a lot
more computing power than you can readily cool in a package that's the size of a
smartphone. But, how much? It's
extremely likely that the near future of personal computing will move toward very mobile
devices that can be paired
with a larger display and input device
virtualization?
it is not uncommon these days that users rely on it for
testing or let special software runs which does not exist
in a native version
well, even Windows7 had it BUILT-IN
you need at least CPU power, you need RAM and you need fast disks
sorry, but there where i work you will never replace a workstation
with such toys in the office instead use the BEST tools for
whatever you need instead such crippleded "fits all and nothing"
