What will be the next trend in technology in 2017?

Tablets with a bunch of dongles. The only market it won't completely skyrocket in is the enterprise and professional sector.

Laptop will be paper-thin.

Keyboard has been completely replaced by giant touch pad.

>tfw investing in dongle companies

checkem

>you need to buy a separate dongle to charge your laptop

>non-rechargeable laptops with proprietary batteries

my current laptop has a lower resolution screen than the one i had in 2004

Whatever Apple decides to push forward.

tablets you fucking monglet

everybodys happy then, /mkg/ gets to choose their own keyboard on the run, manufacturers can jew the user for a keyboard, devices become smaller and batteries in the keyboard become a thing, the CPU is behind the screen (iDesign), shits soldered and glued so it generates more profit and fucks you over, touchfags can touch

We already have the next generation. These funny laptop-tablets that had a touch screen and a detachable keyboard.
But yeah, big tablets like the iPad are the tendency

My laptop has a 4K display.

Stop being poor.

Adapters.

Will 1366x768 on 10"+ devices FINALLY DIE in 2017?

My fucking phone is 1080p (and I'm fine with even a 720p phone).

...

...

2017 will be the begining of the moding comunity reusing old laptops and remplacing the internals with modern ones.
They will base it on the mini-ITX thin bersion and then the motherboard manufacturer will upgrade it with a mini-ITX no ports version
In this year Sup Forums will have a new suboard /mlg/ "moding laptos general" and the /tpg/ will disapear becasue lenovo sucks balls
Also the most moded laptop will be old Apple macbooks, people will start printing 3d parts for it and aliexpress will deliver components.

>2020
>freetards still using 2000s laptop

Sure, why the fuck not.

We're there now. Nearly there, okay. But that is very reachable.

>implying I didn't already upgrade a laptops i3 by a i5 with hyperthreading
>implying it didn't break down
it was something else though, that board ate hdds and ssds like snacks, even the webcam died randomly one day, maybe the psu was faulty. the whole mb died

well what can you do, shit happens.

Would do it again with hackintoshable hardware.

Virtual keyboards ad virtual displays

Everytime you think "We've probably reached the pinnacle of thinness" they manage to remove or reduce some feature to shave off a few mm - so you can probably expect more and more thinness.

Phones becoming desktops.

That worked out for Microsoft so well their almost non existent phone market collapsed and disappeared.

>what is a moto droid razr from 2011

It's too late, user.

>implying they're not going to get killed by flexible tablets that can be folded like a laptop

Laptops of the 2020s

...

Maybe in 2040.

what the fuck

Robot waifus
>with hooves

Basically what nintendo does now.

Like this?

PERFECT

...

simple terminals without internal storage connected 24/7 to the botnet cloud

no ports, not even to charge

you will need to buy seperate charging dock that charges wirelessly and only has 2 ports

this is the trend we will go for in the truly wireless future.

wires will be treated like a conservative: Racist and Sexist.

we will continue to remove basic features because its "Courageous"

>clippy returns

fuck

the next big thing will be appel thinclient, 50h of battery but only works if you're connected to the mainframe, which will stream everything to you.

everyone will claim apple invented virtual computing

My laptop has 4k also but the Intel IGP is just not powerful and power efficient enough to drive that amount of pixels with snappy 2d performance.

Actually this. Smartphones are more than powerful enough for the average normie. Hook it up to your Andromium Superbook, or whatever they come up with for desktops. Android for everything, plus iOS I guess if they decide to keep up.

Chinknovo is already doing it. No more physical keyboards. Just fucking end my existence.

It's all non-professional users will ever need. Still won't kill Windows because of gaymes, but it's a way to get average people on an open source platform that they can secure once and keep moving.

This.
They've already experimented with the idea for some time now, by combining phones with bigger screens to turn them into tablets.
Give pic related a 24" monitor + keyboard and mouse combo and you're basically done.
After all, phones nowadays are capable of doing 100% of the things that the average user needs.

They already tried this and it failed miserably.

Now we're at a point where phones are powerful enough to pull it off without any problems.
I don't know when they tried this or what company was responsible, but the reasons why it failed, were most likely either phones being too weak or they fucked something up regarding marketing or design.
Because there's zero reason for this not to work at the moment or in the future.

If your phone can stream high quality movies from whatever service without a problem and if it's able to browse the internet without lagging, then it only comes down to nailing the marketing.
If Apple experimented with the idea, you can bet that we'd see it become a standard in a year.

It wasn't the power of the device, just that nobody wanted it, probably because it looks stupid

Because the software sucked utter SHIT, and it was only blowing up android apps.

Windows Continium or Ubuntu touch are actually useful.

i tried to read it backwards and still wtf

want.

>1366x768
I had retina since 2012

what year was this?

Either web apps will truly take over, 2-in-1 tablet/notebook form factor will become the norm, or both

>things can only be tried once - if they fail, they're done for good

2020's? Hololens, Google glass and OLED contact lenses replace computers, pal.

P750dm-g here, already ahead of you kek

web apps won't take over. no company wants to have to rely totally on a third party isp to ensure they can use their computers.

>Now we're at a point where phones are powerful enough to pull it off without any problems
But we aren't.
They could drive the display and run applications, sure, but even the best SoCs used in phones struggle to multi-task in any capacity, which is a necessity for any desktop setting.

Maybe in another 5 or 10 years, but they're still a long ways off from being suitable for desktop use.

>no company wants to have to rely totally on a third party isp to ensure they can use their computers.
>what is a consumer who only uses their laptop to consume web content anyway
>what is a workstation
Corporations already use the basic principle, they just run things on an internal server

VR laptop, aka, something that doesn't really exist

Fingerprint scanners, more and more touch screens being put on laptops, and USB type-c

is literally the worst case scenario for laptops in the future

Nowhere to go hardware-wise unless you're "brave" like Apple. They will only get stronger from the inside.

2017 will be the year of the Linux Desktop!

aint that the dream? if they achieve that on laptops, our towers will pretty much be A/C. Imagine that no one will complain that its too hot in the summer cause of your desktop, instead people will be complaining how cold it is during winter because of their desktop

Shit, that's actually pretty good.

I don't think it's been tried with much attention since most of have been able to use their phones for every basic thing. I know people that haven't owned a computer since 2013 because of this.

most of society*

WTF is that? It reminds me of some sort of old-school Timex-Snclair or an Atari 400??? Those keyboards sucked back then, just as tablet-phone keyboards generally suck now.

Doesn't the Pixel have like 8 cores and >4gb of RAM? That's better than most chromebooks

>clippy
MFW

You know those Westworld folding tablets? Those. You'll be able to use it as a phone while holded, as a tablet while open, and as a laptop, with two of the three faces as screen, and the third one as keyboard.

>while holded
folded*

Household robots, Holographic\Augmented Reality glasses

OLED monitors and TVs are going to become a lot more affordable and common.
Also HDR fad is going to kick into full swing with TVs.

VR no longer a gimmick and everyone implements a google glass type device. The world is now your personal filter bubble, changing real time interactions into pleasant words that suit your personal beliefs. Crime keeps plummeting down, since the standard vices are being replaced with virtual experiences. The world is moving towards endorphin laced utopia, birth rates will plummet and finally the human virus will be manageable.

>George Soros's wet dream
-the post

>Samsung Galaxy X
You might be right.
To be honest this could be a great idea if they pulled it off right way and it wasn't too bulky to use in it's phone shape.

I want DVD drives back

phablets with joysticks, because typing requires too much thinking

>top-10-reasons-indians-will-buy-it
what a surprise

You faggots are in for a real treat, I've been to the future and it's still the fucking same, just google is a major laptop OEM and everything is a little bit cheaper.

Normies will buy it because they no longer can ruin it by spilling red bull on it.

Colossal failure

The only difference between a PDA in 1990 and a SmartPhone in 2016 is a camera and a capacitive touch screen instead of resistive... There was no real revolution, anyone who thinks smartphone technology is new or started in 2007, is retarded. It has existed and has been refined over and over until Samsung introduced the first capacitive screen design in 2006, which was copied by apple in 2007 to make the first iPhone.

We've been building off of pre-existing tech this entire century so far, and nobody has come up with any original computing ideas other than shitty gimmicks.

can you poo in it?

Apple opened the door to current smartphones as we know them, don't be dense. I have an irrational hatred of Apple but even I can admit this.

You can poo in it, then fold it and take it to the designated shitting street.
Very convenient.

Phone hardware was weak as fuck when that was released, not to mention smartphones are far more ubiquitous now and people are more accustomed to doing everything with "apps" then they were in 2011. If Chromebooks are anything to go by the market now would be more receptive to something like the Atrix.

Sadly, this.

Right. The palm m100 I had when I was 12 years old had everything a smartphone could do today, other than making calls.

I don't know, I'll let Apple tell me when it's time.

People are writing this off, but I think it still has a chance of catching on. The only way it'll work is if Apple cut back on their non-phone offerings and go balls-deep on "iPhone/iOS as a desktop".

Continuum is crap right now.
>windows without windows (everything is fullscreen)
>snapdragon 808 is shit
>the desktop box doesn't have integrated speakers
>edge lags badly if you have more than two tabs open
>apps need to explicitly enable continuum support
>x86 emulation is going to make the performance problem even worse
>HP lapdock costs as much as a midrange laptop

Keep trying. In 20 years it may have a chance to succeed.

BRAVE

Lol, that's a load of shit. I can't believe there are actually people who believe this.

I have a Dell from 1999 with a res of 1400x1050, larger than most shittop resolutions today

you'll sign into internet machines like the chromebook and access all your applications from over the internet on big corporate computers
any machine you sign in with will stream your OS from google/apple/microshit's servers
