Desktops are already dissapearing from the mass marketing, their use will remain for profesional users that need the power and gamers. The lower end desktop will dissapear.

iPads could replace desktops when they become powerfull enough, they are not that far, for the Music making needs of a great number of Music makers.

Yeah, but iOS sucks... I would never want to depend on it.For actual work a real OS is far better.

Like record players died off to be replaced by cd players, mp3 players, etc.?

...and then make a massive comeback

Massive comeback you say?
Without knowing any sales figures I know that's not right.
Main street just isn't awash with turntables to make that claim with any authority.

Not saying desktop pcs won't still be desired by niche markets and have that catered for by manufacturers, but like record players compared with cd and now mp3, they won't be consumer mainstream.

You can run Logic on Apple Watch in 10 years.

Man, a lot to cover quickly!

The reason why desktops will never really disappear is because they provide a necessary function. Let's be realistic on a common-sense level for a change......as good as computing power is, it's not at all close in the "i' department. Also, what people REALLY want in that arena, isn't capable in the "i" or ever really the "lap" department. Will be happy to explain further if necessary.

iOs doesn't suck, it's just not there yet. There are obvious reasons for this. Again, as good as we are with gadgets, there are severe limitations when you look at size. That's one reason why the current iphones "grew" in size, and it's why people are demanding bigger ipads/tablets. Nobody is immune from "jesus christ this is so f**king small I can't see it" syndrome, especially geezers like me. I now have to put on reading glasses to really see my ipad most of the time

But the software isn't bad, it's just not terribly convenient always vs a nice big powerful desktop

@"massive comeback" : This depends on perception. Yes, it has made a comeback (especially vinyl) but not "massive" by any stretch. I dare you to crunch the numbers. Sure, now when I walk into GC there are a bunch of vinyl records, but is anyone buying them other than snobs or rich people?

One small example: http://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-fa ... christmas/

Amazon too: http://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-fa ... christmas/

Vinyl is making a very big comeback, and you only need to browse the net or local hifi shops to see the huge amount of new turntables available.

I've got 3 turntables

Im neither, and i buy a lot. Most of my friends do to. (Most over 40) its not a purist thing, i love the medium. I get loads of bargains on ebay so it doesnt cost a bomb.

And so what? It's like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

Someone mentions Apple and you think this topic is about consumer mainstream? Guess what, most of what this forum is about isn't consumer mainstream.

I'm happy you think desktop pcs will be as common place in ten years as they are now, even though trending statistics and smart money would disagree with you.
While totally and wilfully ignoring your attempt to mis frame the debate, maybe you can start a thread in a decade and tell us how they're massively back like record players are today

Here's a fun question: I wonder which DAW is going to be the first to embrace 3D VR technology - notably: the Oculus Rift? My money, if I had any, would be on Cakewalk.

Although imagine using Ableton Live in a performance venue where you can mix the real and the virtual together - in real time. *That* could get really strange & interesting, especially if audience members are also able to participate - wearing their own 3D headsets and interacting directly with what the performer is doing - I guess you might call it a 'tribal' performance - the natives' dances fast-forward -

Who will and will not be around in 10 years?
