Android is also on a path to take over desktops and laptops. A new Galaxy

Hardware will only get better and cheaper and the Android OS is free.

I think that phones are powerful enough to do what most people need.  And I say that as I'm checking e-mail because I'm waiting for packages to build on my phone.  I'm not sure that Android will be the winner there, it's a big transition to go to desktop use-cases, just like it's hard to go the other way as well.  The trend to convergence is clear though.

Here's a nice video on it that you can send to non-technical friends:
