I was thinking more the keyboard an issue. I can't imagine writing much without one. In most businesses, this seems to be the main activity for computers.

(FTFY)
smartphones and tablets are primarily consumer end user devices, not business developer devices.

No, I meant consumer. I haven't come across any of these devices in use, other than quickly checking emails, in business. I can't imagine writing any substantial amount of text on anything other than a keyboard. Hell, even this brief reply would strain my typing skills on swype, and that's a big step forward from a normal on-screen keyboard.

Plus PCs will always be cheaper and more powerful, smaller technology always comes after the initial, larger desktop equivalent, and its always more expensive. Desktops will always win out for more intensive applications, like graphics, for this reason.

Computer Skills
A man decided to improve his computer skills, and threw myself himself into it
with enthusiasm. Every week he would check out five or six instructional
books from the library.
After about a month the librarian commented, "Wow! You must really be
getting knowledgeable by now."
"Thanks," he said. "How can you tell?"
The librarian explained, "Only two of the books you're checking out this
week have 'FOR DUMMIES' in their titles."
Listening Skills
"Guess what?" yelled my high school-er as he burst through the door. "I got a 100 on the Spanish quiz that I didn't even know we were having."
"That's great!" I said. "But why didn't you know about the quiz?"
"Because our teacher told us about it in Spanish."

No joke: When I did French language at school, one of the exam tests was dictation. The teacher would read out a passage, and we had to translate it and write down the English version, with positive marks for correct bits, and negative marks for errors.
Come the mock O level exams, half the class did not turn up for the test, and were given zero points. Beating everyone who did sit the exam by a considerable margin...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Oops....blame me. Sometimes blind copy-paste sucks. But believe me I read that joke & didn't notice that.
Well spotted, 5!
