For other people smartphone and/or tablet are sufficient. I am not implying other people shouldn't buy a PC I am just saying that it isn't "necessary" for them like a smartphone is.

        Don't you think that the main reason for lower sales is the high price of Nvidia graphics cards?

                                    Some people claiming PC will be dead and smartphones will replace them. They've been claiming this for over 2 decades but never came true. Smartphones, even tablets can't offer functionality like a PC, even a small laptop. It's the limitation of OS. But that also means PC can't replace smartphones because the OS is too complex for everyday phone-related tasks.
                                    This means both are needed. Only odd ones are Android and iOS tablets/foldables. These don't offer anything over regular smartphone except a larger screen. I think there are very very specific tasks where these could be useful but most people buying tablets/foldables would be far better off buying a touchscreen Windows laptop.

                                        You can do most things with a smartphone, and tablets for the rest. PCs are redundant for a lot of people. I built a desktop in 2020 and don't even use it that much
