Demand will vary a great as it is separate for a home consumer and a corporate boss.

It may so happen that a home user may still prefer a desktop in the long run. On the other hand, a corporate executive, who is always on the go, may prefer a mobile computer and go for an iPad as he will get all the features of a computer in his hand.
