Can smart phones replace laptops?

its a mixed reaction to me since I am for both, the phone does almost however there are some activities which can not be supported by phone, hence require a laptop.

the speed can be a major factor here also, despite the fact the phone can do certain work speed can let it down leading to either crash or loss of data

For me, definitely not. Laptops can't even replace my desktop (sure, I could get a laptop that does what my desktop does - for about three times the money!). I have a dual monitor setup, and dropping back to one screen really slows me down. Without a proper keyboard, I can't write as fast either.

Personally I need a real keyboard to be comfortable to type. And there are a lot of other things that I would not do on a phone : making serious adjustments to a photo, editing or converting a movie (converting a movie is not impossible, but it can take hours on a phone), etc. And a laptop cannot do anything : I have a desktop for gaming.

It is true that all functions are in mobiles also because now the mobiles provides enough processing speed and back up. But I think lap is easy to type and view big those who favors.

No, but I am only using an iPhone to make money online. I use netbook when needed but I still prefer desktop computers if only internet connection is not a problem at my current location.

phones are mostly for on the go errands that can be done on it. laptops and home pcs are for more personal and time consuming tasks. especially if youre into photography and photo shopping. and besides, youd get tired of looking at a small screen doing all the major things on it, so a larger screen helps.

For me not, there is a lot of applications that we can not access on smart phone, for example autocad, the database that we use at the department store and a lot more.
