  1. Laptops will not kill off desktops because CPU and GPU manufacturers will never stop improving their products and the size trend is upwards for those components not down, and the biggest domestic PC market is gamers who demand power.

  3. I strongly disagree with your conclusion. The manufacturers have no desire to reduce the number of components that they sell to users. It suits them VERY well to have all the parts independently upgradeable, and it suits a huge number of users very well to be able to buy them that way. Channels like Linus, Gamer's Nexus, and many others are educating users increasingly about various parts, and the market of tech savvy buyer is growing by the year. The biggest problem for manufacturers, is that they need to hit ALL their bases in order to make an all-in-one. Look at the current situation - 6 months ago, intel would have dominated because of the CPUs, and now AMD is about to crush it, whereas nvidia is in a league of their own with graphics cards. Does anyone seriously think they would stand there and lose out to intel over the processors or lose total market control by being reduced to an integrated chip manufacturer? Yes, there is a significan demographic that will happily buy a ready built, all in one small PC, but there are far too many people who want the flexibility to mix and match, and upgrade components independently.
