Mar 9 2011: I do not think neither Desktop nor laptop going to obsolete . But yes the way they operate through operating system will be changed drastically like Google is coming up with new laptop equiped with Android Software , This laptop wont have any application , After you connect to the NET you will be connect to the Cloud Computing . There you have everything , your data , your application whatever you want , But if you Internet connection is slow or not stable then this Google laptop is just not usefull , But the way all the countries around the world steping up to increase the internet bandwidth and Every airport , restaurant and common public places incorporating the wifi zones . if the internet will be available everywhere and easily accessible then this Google Laptop going to gain the momentum , but please note that Desktop and Laptop never going to be obsolete , only there will be changes how they will be operating .
