The Era Of Desktop PCs Could End Sooner Than You Think
How-To Geek, Monday, September 8th, 2025
There was a time that the only shape computers came in was a desktop or tower case. All computers were big, bulky, and plugged into the wall. Then, as components shrank and became less power-hungry, computers became portable, and later truly mobile.
Today, laptop computers far outsell desktop systems, with the former growing every year, and the latter in a steady decline. It's not hard to imagine that the desktop as we know it will soon fade to a niche system, with even mini PCs being a more sensible choice where desktops used to offer a better deal.
