The Waning Desktop

Undoubtedly, the desktop computer as we know it has peaked, and it’s time to move on to a new paradigm.

The Mac Desktop experience is, in my opinion, better than ever. But for some time now, that experience has been part of a more portable device…the notebook computer. The use of notebook components has allowed the transformation of the desktop into a combined CPU-display form factor. And the migration toward notebooks as replacements for those desktops has largely been driven by the business world. 

I’m a Mac user. And for me, the ability of the MacBook to dock with larger displays, and the abilities of the Lightning connector to facilitate that process has made the transition to a more portable desktop computer seamless and practical. 

The next phase of this transition was revealed at the WWDC with the announcement of Yosemite, which will integrate all of Apple’s desktop, portable, tablet and mobile devices into one cohesive experience.
