content: The only reason desktop is shrinking their is no big performance increase in modern chips . I still use a core2quad running at 3.6 ghz and unless i see at least a 40 to 50% increase in speed i have no plans to change it . While chips are more powerful they are not much faster and that has killed desktop sales . everyone i know still uses desktops and millions are still being used by businesses but until they speed up the processors no one is going to buy another one .
