| 1321743 | 2013-01-06 22:03:00 | I have been told that new chipsets will soon be making everything current obsolete. How much should this affect my plans for a new computer? |

| 1321745 | 2013-01-06 23:37:00 | Yeah in a nutshell, it won't. Whoever told you that isn't 100% sure about what they're talking about, and at best is scaremongering. As inphinity mentioned, there are always upgrades, there's a good chance there's been half a dozen solid progressions since your current PC at least, but your PC itself still works fine, doesn't it? ;) |

| 1321751 | 2013-01-07 05:21:00 | It's rubbish a smartphone or tablet is a PC in a different form, they don't become obsolete they just evolve. It's an ever changing technology and there will always be something new coming as others have said, if you want a PC now buy one now and don't worry about what's coming next month - that'll be superseded soon enough also. And no matter how small and powerful devices get it'll be a long time before the keyboard/mouse/large screen combination dissappear from my house and many others. It's just better. I see a day coming when portable devices are powerful enough to do everything and can use a docking station at home to give you the full PC experience, but despite a few very cool devices along exactly that line we just aren't there yet and won't be for a while. |
