I agree, I use the computer way too much for a phone to replace it. I really need the keyboard to type fast, and I am always multitasking on the computer, and it is easier with the large screen. I don't want a phone or tablet with a 15 inch screen like my laptop.

No it wouldn't. It's all about the big screen

I have Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Lite. And of course, it does not replace computer. But it can be use as a substitute. .

I agree, if someone just needs to reply to a few emails a day then a smartphone would work fine, but for someone that is on the computer for many hours a day a smartphone isn't a replacement - yet.

I still use my computer a lot since it is quicker to type on the keyboard. Also, I can have many tabs and windows open at the same time. My smartphone only allows a certain number of tabs, it doesn't have a keyboard, and the screen is too small. If I had the Samsung Galaxy S4 I would probably be able to do more than with my current phone.

You can now do almost everything, if not all, that you need to do online from a smartphone. You can take it anywhere, and you can get connected wherever you go. With this technology, do you still have a need to use your computer? What can you do from your computer that you can't do from your cellphone? It's amazing how the smartphones can already replace computers. I even read through an article that one CEO did his job from a Galaxy Note for a year! Now that's amazing! I honestly don't do much on my computer anymore because I can do it from my phone anyway. Of course, the computer never runs out of battery (when plugged in) so you can surf the Internet all you want. What if a phone can do that too, do you think you'll ever use your computer or want to carry a laptop when traveling so you can do your stuff online?
