Re: The day of the PC over?

Lol the fan boys are out in full on here. I can't believe how you can compare a tablet to a console/handheld or pc makes me laugh they are soooooo far behind. maybe and thats a maybe they just might be the "in thing in a good few years" but at the moment they are limited to FB style games so come on lets get real.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 are stuck in 2006 lets face it easy or not for developers and market share they are stuck in a time warp....I would rather stick with my pc for office ability and gaming.....I would rather go with a fad for now "touch screen" has been out before its the latest "teen thing" pc wont go anywhere. Consumers are feeding off the market because its a new thing

A lot of people are upgrading there own pc's or know someone who can do it for them rather than take it to the likes of pc world who would charge you something daft liek £45 to install memory. I mean I even showed someone how to do it at work and saved them a fortune getting someone like PC world to install memory for them and forcing them to buy it from there shop I saved them like £80

I console is great, easy for developers and better for the consumer because they can pay to play and no stupid pc setup to have to fiddle with to get a game to work....on a gaming front the pc is the KING because even with a graphics card I use Geforce 260 GTX (2008) model I got off ebay for £60 with a AMD 3.4ghz quad core cpu runs 99% of games on a 22" monitor at full screen not come across anything yet that slows it down.

So the cost works out at £190 for me personally total cost of my pc is around £1500 but this is over time 2 years I spent £130 on a tower unit most wouldn't but I reckon you could build something similar to me for around £300 and I'm still well above the specs of a ps3 or xbox.

PS3 lags because newer games are too much for the machine this is were the pc is ahead online gaming its meant for these kinds of machines
