The basic argument is this is how it's done, ergo, it's how it will be. That's is weak.
I agree with the conclusion - laptops have a niche. They are precision tools. But laptops carry no value over a fully capable tablet for most people.
As that mass of people vanishes from the market the re-pricing of the laptop as a professional tool will further wall off its niche. Completely? No. But to a large degree, from a mass consumer perspective.
Article MIGHT be correct.. But I don't really see how they can make this statement, not knowing what the iPad 3 will offer. It might be completely revolutional for all we know. Looking forward to the day when we can run OSX instead of iOS on iPads.
