Re: It's not about the processors
Yes, there's also a weird marketing push into directions nobody wants. For example the "Ultrabook" which tries to be as thin as possible, which is usually reached by having a hard to replace battery.
The big problem the manufacturers don't realize is that the future of the PC is not with Windows any more. Microsoft essentially wants to chase the Android market, by making Windows just like a mobile operating system. The people who still care about privacy are switching towards Linux or some BSD.
Microsoft will essentially pull out the rug from under their main market. They have already tried with Windows 8 and they have apparently not changed their mind with Windows 10.
