All this talk of computers being an expensive throw away item...well the throw away, I can agree with...but the expensive, I'm afraid not. What has changed over the last 10 years, is that the consumer has access to cutting edge computer technology quite quickly, when compared to 10 years ago. When was quad core technology developed? Well, you can get it already and only a couple of years after it was developed.
Price is on relative to how much you earn and how much your living depends on it.
I think £3000 on an 8 core Mac is a bargain when I can get 6 x faster processing speed than I could with my previous machine.
If you want real out there cutting edge stuff, imagine the CPU bing the whole computer itself....using the atoms that make up the computer to do the processing. That is beyond Sci-Fi and being researched and developed right now.
