Getting 4-5 of them.

I feel the market will swing to two types of computers;

1. Tower type PCs for static use.
2. Tablet (iPad) type PCs for mobile use.

Laptops will slowly disappear as the younger generations are into more simplistic usability. For mobility, you really don't need to have massive amounts of HDD space...it just has to do a good job while away, while on a plane or in a car. Tower type PCs need to have the grunt, and always will.

The iPad's use of a large screen for both display and keyboard minimises PC size.

I think the market pretty much made the future direction clear in regards to iPhone sales.
