My prediction is that we should see separation of the processor and the display into two distinct physical devices.

1985 called, they want their idea back!

But then you can upgrade one without upgrading the other

You realize you can do that already with PC hardware? And not only the display, but like - everything!

(I usually try to stay away from those debates because they're useless. It's just like the browser wars or in the old days the editor wars, in the end it boils down to personal preferences, and everybody that thinks their favorite product would be the right one for everybody, just because it works for them, is just being narrow-minded. Plus IMHO both Windows and Mac OS suck, so I avoid them whenever I can. Doesn't mean I run around and tell every Mac or Windows user they're being stupid. But I found it mildly funny that you would bring up things as a positive idea for the future that have always been one of the drawbacks of the whole "hardware and software from the same vendor" thing you are praising. To me it is an extremely repelling thought to get both out of the same hands. Not because the product is necessarily bad. But because you lock yourself in pretty easily to one vendor. And locking myself in is something I try to avoid like the plague.)
