Anonymous, 09 May 2021How much battery life are you getting? 10h+ for movies easy about 5-8h on playing games, the SoC on the HD 10 2019 is decent enough to be able to handle most games, even PUBG for example.

          Surprisingly Samsung tablet sales is just 50% lesser than Apple. Expected way bigger of a gap tbh. Looks like the memes of iPad is the only surviving tablet is not that true

            What does percent means in statistics and total earning?

            For example:
            regular demand tend to increase was 3M and now in its Pandemic driven jump is 12M.
            400% and customers are at least 400M
            (Educational systems, globally need devices for current pandemic condition)
            400 / 100 = 4 X 3 = 12

            4% Share out of 6 Platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPad & ChromeBook)

            100 / 6 = 16% is the least acceptable percentage, regarding just 400M.

            The reason behind Android's low shipment of tablets is both small screen and Emulators.

            I myself have 20 emulated Android in a Omen 17" i7 1070 32GB 512SSD. If I wanted to handle my tasks equally, I had to carry 20 tablets, everyday with me.

            Last winter I had a portable hitter, 20 Android 17" FHD Tablets, A gaming rig for Racing games, a full fledged windows machine in a package.

            Why should I buy other machines?

            If people like were omited, then Chromebook shipment was almost 0.01% but its growth was still 275%.

            for a tech site, such statistics are clueless and has nothing to do with reality

                  There could be more PC Sales if Nvidia and AMD can supply more of their CPU's & GPU's since they are getting hoggled by miners and scalpers that inflate those sales.

                          I can't really see the appeal of Chromebooks when you have a similarly-priced Windows 10 laptop or tablet with much better performance and a true desktop OS instead of having a lackluster CPU and a pseudo browser OS. Heck, with the existence of native Android Desktop Mode alongside custom iterations like Samsung DeX, Huawei EMUI Desktop, LG Screen+, and Motorola Ready For, the Chromebook appeal shrank even further downwards.

                            Anonymous, 05 May 2021Desktops suck. Laptops are the future. Perhaps you're referring to prebuilts, and I understand. I've seen a lot of videos advising against prebuilts, because, apparently, SIs or OEMs don't know how to build a PC, or they resort to questionable selling tactics.

                            DIYs meanwhile, are too costly because the key components (CPU and GPU) are so expensive nowadays, especially for gaming or content creation.

                            In short, desktops are not worth it because the current landscape, not because they are fundamentally flawed.

                              But I get where you're getting from. I do enjoy laptops for their portability and even low power consumption.
                              But still the edge in (price to) performance and ergonomics at the workspace goes to desktops

                                    Now with all this pandemic changing our lives and making us work more from home, I think desktops will be even more looked up.
                                    Laptops are more convenient of course. But desktops are more powerful and more customizable.

                                      what happen to microsoft surface?
