That is a good point. I know my dad has moved strictly to an iPad and
iPhone for his use of computing technology. My step-mom got a
hand-me-down laptop from me (with Windows 11), but she is still
"committed" to using a "computer". My wife only uses her computer (a
MacBook) to do homework on, or her work laptop for work-related things.
Yes, most definitely people are moving away from the use of a "real
computer", reducing the efforts put into them by manufacturers. And the
way some of the tablets are going, the lines are being blurred between a
laptop/notebook and a tablet. Hell, my Kindle Fire 11 Max has a keyboard
and stylus that can be added to it.
