    Smart phones would make mincemeat of older PCs? More like modern PCs. It’s pretty crazy when you consider how much more powerful and iPhone is than a laptop for around the same price.

    Sure, if you shop smart you can do better, but still it’s more power than almost anyone needs.

    I guess another reason Apple hasn’t done it as they would probably need to increase the amount of ram in the phones to make them run really well.

      Yeah when I say old I don’t mean 90s PCs, I mean pretty much any laptop that’s not being sold. And even plenty of the weaker ones currently being sold.

      A low end laptop, maybe, but anything you need power to do would be rough given the thermal limitations and comparatively weaker processor in the iPhone. I do agree that most could get away with a docked phone instead of a desktop if the implementation was good enough.
