    Competition is good, this is a bad news for intel, many are replacing PC/MAC with smart tablets and phones. ANDROID is a game changer.

    More supplementing than replacing I think.

    I don't know anyone who has given up a desktop or laptop for a tablet or phone, they have them as well.

    A few years ago someone would buy a PC/MAC for internet connectivity, gaming and office tasks but since mobile phones and tablets got faster many are opting for the tablet option because they are simply light to carry yet powerful engough like a celeron powered 15inch laptop. I have many friends who got tired of laptops/desktops nowadays I just see tablets, very light but inside there is a beefy Qualcomm CPU. Intel has tried the best to enter the smart phone division but I have seen very few of them just because they are late in the game! still shocked? Qualcomm and ARM are entering the server market.

    Of those tasks, light internet connectivity (browsing) is all tablets are really good at though. Intel suck in tablets though, unless you live somewhere cold so the heat is useful and you don't care much about battery life.

    ARM *would like* to enter the server market, so far they aren't doing all that well. That may change with the next generation though, a bunch of A72 cores is very useful.
