When is this going to finally happen so PC can finally die?

I hope it never does, after this comes cloud-only storage, even more massive data mining, web-based applications only (*cough* Chromebook), etc.
Basically hell.

in the future you will only need to type with one finger at a time

When you can fit the equivalent of the hardware of your regular mid-to-high powered tower into something the size of a phone in a way that is as easily customizable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient as current PCs, then we can have this. Current phones are none of these things, and you need all of them to be feasable.

but user its the eventuality, we must feed the ai god as much data as we can (read:Roko's basilisk)

...

...

It did, however no one purchased the Lumia 960 so Windows Phone is now dead forever.

I thought that's what win gp xd supposed to be?

Why are people wanting PC to die?

>using deprecated architecture
ARM is the future.

Its lacking the customizability and energy efficeincy aspect. You dont get to pick and choose your own parts, operating system, and software for it without it fighting you every step of the way, if it even allows you at all (im guessing it doesnt.) And if you try running any programs that use any more proccesing power than your average phone app, your energy efficiency gets thrown out the window.

>Cloud based OS

I'm not a fucking paranoid freak, but do you really want to have a cellphone as your only computer?

when phones become as powefull as a desktop PC

Some people are just shills. Only shills would want pizzas to die.

>this setup + an external gpu
is this the future?

phones are pcs
the only difference is form factor

This

t. luddite

even the average laptop cpus are absolute shit, we are a long way before this happens.

This is about privacy, not progress. Nothing to do with luddism.

> it would cost to much to write new software
It should happen sooner or later anyway.

If you think about it not only is cloud based software a privacy nightmare but it is also a regression in progress as in the early days of computing we used central mainframes with dumb terminals and cloud computing and services are just an extension of mainframe computing

t. shit for brains

The internet is such a huge part of modern life that I would feel VERY unccomfortable with the idea that the ONLY connection between me and it is a little rectangle in my pocket that might die the moment it gets a bit wet, falls to the ground from hand or pocket height, or just gets stolen by a petty criminal

in the dystopian future this won't be a problem because everyone will have one user account mandatorily tied to their identity by the government, and the entire national computer system + internet will be run like one of those enterprise systems that syncs the user directory from a server to the local machine on login

What's a PC?

explain to a computer engineeringlet
all that has to be rewritten for the new processor architecture is the C compiler, and then everything else can be run just fine, right? the other causes of incompatibility are not hardware but software stuff, with different OSes providing different kinds of system calls for common functions

proofs

Anything written for the web, the JVM, or pure CLR software with no Win32 calls already works across architectures. Anything targeting an interpreted language already works across architectures. Anything open source that doesn't rely on assembly can be trivially recompiled. DOSBox has run on other architectures for over a decade. It's the relatively narrow band of proprietary Win32/Win64 software from 1995 to now and stuff directly written in 32/64 bit x86 Assembly that can't be ported.

You need 32 GB of RAM and 64 cores @ 4.5 Ghz to post on 4chin?

Hopefully never. Now kys after you leave.

PC sized things will always be around as gaming machines, workstations, etc., but the average normie doesn't need anywhere near that much power given that they use their PCs as glorified thin clients. That's the entire reason Chromebooks sell well.

...

Call me when they make a laptop one that you can slide your phone into

this
most people don't use their computers for anything more than facebook, news websites, email, maybe MS word
you can do all that shit on a cell phone from 5 years ago no problem

Yeah I'm sure great graphics hardware that right now requires at least 2 slots worth of space in your case is going to be able to be in a package that small anytime soon.

but user, why don’t you just give phones thunderbolt 3 and hook them up to an egpu with extra USB ports?

well there was the asus padphone, but it never took off.

We would already be here if applel and their ishit didnt hold back phone technology for a decade.

what are you using to achieve the "desktop" look?

>donald the drumpf tweeting on his blackberry circa 1998

950*

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and monitor and USB-C to HDMI adapter.
If you're talking about the desktop environment It's already implemented in the OS, but there's no dev that develop for it.
Much like split screen support.

Windows Mobile happened

Time will come, 9-10 years ago people being surprise by smartphone. Maybe 10 years from now?

>cost effective
That's only true if you assume people wouldn't get a smartphone anyway, which they would. Using the smartphone you already have as a desktop via a energy efficient
Yeah, I guess it's less energy efficient to use a 5W max smartphone than it is to use a PC that consumes twice as much while idle to do the same task. If you're talking about the battery life as it is implied in this post , you should realize that the dock can provide the necessary power, the only issue manufacturers would have to solve is not killing the battery by having the device constantly charged, but that's easily solvable.
>lack of hardware and software customizability
I give you that, but most people don't really care about hardware customizability, and you can install third party OSes on most phones, it's just not officially supported. If phones were widely used as desktops, I'm pretty sure most linux distros would have acceptable support for them, and maybe the manufacturers would make it easier to install third party OSes as it would be a selling point.

Never, this is classic designer larp as engineer fist create product then try to find consumers for it instead other way around, we had dozens of these already and all of them are dead because nobody fucking need it.

But OP... that IS a computer.......

>using Huawei
Enjoy your data theft and surveillance

You do realize notebooks exist right? If you think this turbo nerd gimmick is ever going to be mainstream you need to leave your basement ASAP

Phones are good at being phones, notebooks are good at being notebooks

>tfw your phone has MS Word, Outlook, Excel, and a web browser
>tfw unlimited storage on cloud
>tfw you're a normie and this is literally all you need
Why would anyone carry around a notebook when your phone has enough power and all the software to do what ninety nine percent of people do with their computers? All you need is a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen, and a bigger display. Why carry a notebook to work when all you care about is a bigger screen and better ergonomics?

hahahahaha that is a funny. nice meme my friend, DRUMPFFF is FINSIHED!

ill get one if it can run windows 7

If you need to take work to home you just pack your notebook and go home, with this shit you will have to either pack screen, keyboard and mouse or have another set at home which is redundant and every normalfag and his boss will point this out.

>All you need is a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen, and a bigger display.

That’s exactly why people use notebooks you moron

But why carry around a large display and keyboard with you when you don't use it during your commute? Given the choice between having large displays and keyboards at home and at work and just docking your phone wherever you are and carrying around a notebook that you never use during your commute I don't think most people will choose to carry around more stuff. And if you absolutely need to look at a document while you're commuting you can still do that with a phone.

ARM is just as old and bloated to shit as x86, and exists for pretty much the same reasons.

do-it-all devices are the cancer that killed computing

windows on arm will be compatible with x86, but not with x64 :^)

sauce plz, no luck on reverse image search

>%architecture% is the future
Said by people much smarter than you since the 90s. They've been dead wrong, every last one of them.
While PC may already be eclipsed by phone sales it's not going to take over PC's architecture. The inertia on x86 is unmovable.

Never. I mean if you want you can dock your phone to a USB/HDMI hub right now. The old Photon 4g had a dock that did this right out of the box. But business are never going to go for this for a million reasons. Security being the main one. Useless for industrial applications where x86 windows NT/win7 compatibility is required. You could do this at home I suppose no problem. But if you're deep into writing a document or email and you get a call are you going to want to suspend your desktop to talk?

youtube.com/watch?v=5gKu-T13vXs

I heard some time in fall 2018.

I don't understand the image?

I would rather have the Chinese botnet than the Jewish one.

>When is this going to finally happen so PC can finally die?
When gays rule the earth

Isn't Razer making this, in laptop form?

>just docking your phone wherever you are
requires a pre-existing dock wherever you are, at which point the "portability" of the phone doesn't matter anyways. you could get the same results with cheap desktops everywhere in place of the docks

I could see some use among people who normally carry around a cheap low-power netbook plus a phone, IF the technology becomes standardized and gets software support from phone manufacturers. Instead of a full notebook you just have a gizmo with keyboard + screen + battery + plug for the phone. Same size as the laptop would've been but cheaper overall, and lets you keep a unified environment between your two devices.

The PC IS dieing every second, Android is the most used operating system in the world. Only fat basement dwelling neckbeards and office fags in the United States use PCs anymore.

never, because being able to use your device the way you want to doesn't vendor lock you into some retarded botnet service or micro transaction economy.

>personal computer is dieing
>[personal computer os] is the most used operating system [on personal computers]
>only [everyone] use PCs anymore

Right, because most people really give a shit about the botnet. Year of the linux desktop! Huzzah!

>b-b-but muh gaymes

It's already happening since a long time ago. They are called laptops OP.

Desktops are a meme for "muh games" idiots.
There is no downsides between laptop and desktop. Only a e-penis thing and battlestation posts.

>heh videogames are not a valid use of computing
>only important things like very important business things and also shitposting on Cred Forums
>look at me i'm a very serious business adult
i guess you're just trolling, but fuck you anyway

>Huzzah!
1) sounds like you need to go back to whatever unfortunate tech site you normally post on, winbaby faggot.
2) what the fuck? I'm not even convinced of your first point. I hear a lot of people complain about the invasiveness of this blatant push towards value added servicing that literally everyone is doing. having a desktop that people can use the way they would expect to use their laptops is against how phones and these spyware apps work.

>very serious business adult

not condoning your use of nonfree software, but I always found this thing to be stupid. proud to be a corporate cuck and do work for my corporate masters. please disney, you must pass legislation that makes copyright last forever. think of the mickey mouse IP

I love how butthurt anons turn when I insult their stupid videogames. That resistance that pop ups when someone tells them to mature and change their habits.

Video games are destructive in everyway and no male should play them unless you have to tinker. There aren't many games like that.

I do play videogames on my chinkpad. Obviously I don't fall for the stupid triple A goyming.

Just buy a laptop, stop buying games on Steam, learn how to compile stuff, visit other places than your bedroom, learn how to read code, you'll feel more active than playing fucking KiddieShooter 2000(tm).

This is honestly my dream situation. a dock for the tv, a dock for the home desk, a dock for the work desk, it would be maximum comfy.
my only concern is that the way things are going it'll all be "cloud based" and botnet shit.

but i cant play games on that setup

I would love if more people cared about free as in freedom software, but how many people even know what GNU is? I'm not sure who you're talking to but people are buying Android and Apple phones like crazy. People are buying PCs with macOS and windows. People are not leaving the botnet, they're buying into it more and more. I appreciate your optimism, but I'm sure people have always complained about their cars, too, all the while buying further and further into that economy.

This is the dumbest statement in the world. Your phone is a PC, it's form factor is irrelevant. You could connect your phone to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and plug right along doing just about everything you could in a windows environment.

I was actually legit ready for some seriously hateful exchanges but this follow up bait was shit. I feel like I'm growing out of Cred Forums. I used to be so hateful and angry, now I'm just tired. Feels bad. :(

You know that they make docks for computer...

Gabriel drop out
try whatanime.ga next time

Being angry is the first step for change. I truly think staying inside your bedroom behind a big battlestation full tower full of leds and big ass GPUs is really bad for your health. The "gaming" thing sucks the hell out of people.

Buy a chinkpad, you won't regret it. I'm not here to troll, I'm just trying to help since nobody did that for me. Also, install Gentoo.

?

Post some examples, user.

>It's the relatively narrow band of proprietary Win32/Win64 software from 1995 to now and stuff directly written in 32/64 bit x86 Assembly that can't be ported.
So... very nearly all commercial software ever?

Have one of these at your desk, one at your tv, and one at your work.

this, is as close as it gets rn. Also, if this is your pic, what touchscreen is this? I've seen tons, but they're quite expensive.

All of Cred Forums's demographics have gotten older. Sure there are some Wizard tier incels here but plenty of us build PCs as a causal hobby and sometimes still play games and are involved with ethereum mining shit but otherwise have jobs, houses, and families. It's harder to give that much of a shit after awhile about some autists opinion about the fate of the desktop computing paradign

Buy a Galaxy S8 :^)

>thinks that memecoin is something to be proud of

ahahaha oh wow
what did you buy, the latest ASUS BTC motherboard? Did you also buy the blockchain pendrive with gamestop bonus card?

Sure, because a tiny pocket device with an underpowered ARM SoC can totally match the performance of an i7 and a 1080ti.

epic le meme my friend, have an updoot

1.5 billion smartphones sold in 2017 vs 100 million desktops and 150 million laptops, you PC shills are idiots, you are a dieing breed, end yourselves already

The Moto Atrix did it first.

Except for keyboard size and type and screen size and everything being 15-25% more expensive for the speed

Let me know when a phone/laptop can handle PC games and Maya.

I thought apple patented that?

I've had like three smartphones since I got my desktop, but still I spend more time on my pc than in the phone.

Apple's version has rounded corners.

When they can cram a 2 year old i7 and a top of the line nvidia into a phone that wont explode, we wont be seeing this.

>carrying an incendiary grenade in your pocket 24/7

What is even useful about this when office is already on cloud

I said WONT explode

>So... very nearly all commercial software ever?
I'm willing to bet that there are more commercial iOS/Android apps than there have ever been Windows apps.

you know smart phone really just a slow mini pc with phone add on function. I don't know why people thought it's so revolutionary...and willing to pay $1000 for it.

The future is power consumption not how many megabites you can crunch at once, ARM is already fucking intel in the ass.

You must be over 30yo and American, usage time of smartphones far out weighs average user time on all desktops/laptops combined

>tinfoil hat rattles angerly

CIA pls go

Years of lawsuits Intel threatened over their precious x86. It set back the industry for nearly a decade. Microsoft has had x86 emulation on ARM for years but only now released it.

The other problem is M$ fucked up with their Windows Phone bullshit. No one uses Windows Phone anymore, at least since 2010. To this day it blows me away how they told app developers and their mature platform of 100k apps, 20 million sales a year, and just fucked it all up by emulating the failed Kin project WITH THEIR MAIN PLATFORM and let Google and Apple walk all over them. It was done on purpose if you ask me. Nobody is that stupid to allow something like that to happen.

The industry is slow and just follows the fruit company. If Apple isn't doing it, then they won't either.

>worst UX in existence

Phones are computers. PC is a standard that enables your autistic Linux distro to work on it even though it was shipped with Windows. Everything else in consumer electronics is a closed walled garden.

>if you're not a consumerist retard, you're a luddite
Reminder that consumerist technology isn't real technology. Tapping on your phone screen and knowing which sites to give your data to doesn't constitute technological literacy.

No one wants it except a few autistic "enthusiasts" who don't do real work anyway. Cloud storage already does that better. Why would you replace a full PC with an underpowered piece of shit and put up with so much limitations ? The simple idea of using a phone as a PC implies so much constraints that the idea is retarded to begin with.

how will grumpfy lumpkins ever recover?
I can see it now
he's being impeached next week

you can boot something other than Raspbian and get something better looking

yeah but they put the phone in a stupid place
Razer's solution where they have the phone as the trackpad is a billion times better

Razer did it already

>come full circle to 60's timesharing with dumb terminals

The desktop revolution was a mistake.

When """phone""" is usable as a pc when not connected to a dock
>inb4 soy goys tell me how much they love their touchscreens
If it doesn't have a keyboard it belongs in the trash

This but worse
This implies we're using passively cooled shit which is a long way from even actively cooled laptops

PC WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon.

Those people also dont have a use for a mouse keyboard and monitor so whats the point of this dock setup.
You think chad is gonna go to his desk & hook up a phone to a dock just so he can check the nudes stacy send him ? Ofcourse not he's just gonna sneak a peak at his phone while knee deep in debby.

Doesnt realy matter none of these are important for workflow of big companys and those are the target of windows

Well technically it's true but that doesn't change the fact that ARM has no open source drivers so you're fucked either way unless you run android or windows.

I would actually love this if it meant I could carry a mirror of my desktop around with me and just plug into a docking station to use it exactly.
