  Do you agree with me?
  Or do you think that desktops will die soon and we all will be using mobiles and laptops only for all things computing?

  (Rather morbidly)They may die with me perhaps.
  Doubt it though. Main frames are still around. Serious work will still require desk tops. Without a large screen serious CAD Cam, modelling or engineering/science work will be well nigh impossible. At least we oldies will still swear by (and at, when they misbehave) work stations.

  Hard to say. There seems to be a diverging trend between desktop chassis and the monitors/screens. The desktop casings themselves are decreasing in size over time, whilst larger screens are more accessible and affordable for use in entertainment and productivity uses.
  
  In the future, most likely computing component (i.e CPU/processing) would miniaturize and be more mobile, while having options to connect to multiple types of outputs (e.g large screens, projectors, holographic displays).

  Problem with laptop and tablets , components are irreplaceable or too much inter-dependent. No screen/processor upgrade, 0% chances to add new hardware component.
  We can upgrade 3 year old desktop to newest graphics card it will able to run latest software.
  In 2-3 years almost all laptops/tablet become obsolete to garbage for what they have been purchased.
  Still touch/stylus/gesture can't even stand with a good precision gaming mouse for long (5-8) hour work.
  It hard to say, if mobile devices able to replace faithful desktop. I think people are looking for well synchronized devices, to have mobile devices handy, while doing actual and work on desktop.

  I am still using desktop! and our office uses mainframes as well. So I think they have time.
